Roker Pier Closed

[Jimbob]

Don't know if already posted but heard the pier is closed until end January for essential repairs.

Can anyone confirm?

Pier was damaged in last storm & will not be open until mid January.

useless ****s ,its about time they constructed a place where you can fish 24 7 near there they wonder why folks are sneaking all over fishing illegaly and i cant say i blame them either

[willywetegg]

Useless? How on earth are they useless? Are you saying they should leave it open even though it is damaged so that people have a chance of falling in and a good possibility of drowning? Then the lifeboat being called out so that those lads can risk their necks too just because someone thinks they are useless for closing it?

It's not their fault that it is damaged it is down to the sea, that is what the sea does, it always will. Calling the people that close it useless because it is damaged is really not very clever at all. When something is unsafe it must be closed until it is made safe again that is the law, and not a useless law at all either.

Totally agree.

I mean, its only been standing over 100 years and had to deal with every massive sea every winter.

Surely the leisure department could negotiate with the weather to take it easy on the Sunderland area.

As a 24/7 fishing venue,I suggest they buy a defunct oil rig and dump it 400 yards off seaburn beach, and make it accessible by tunnel, with an elite membership of who posts the most stupid comment (s) on an internet message board.

You're doing well enough without getting on there coddy

The pier is classed as a public footpath,so anyone tripping and being injured due to any damage would be able to put a claim in against the council.
Thats why they always close it till any repairs are done.
Have a look at all the patches in the concrete surface next time your on..

They have a place near there you can fish 24/7. Its called a BEACH. You can see it just at the start of the pier. It isnt to hard to miss unless you are walking around with your eyes closed.

[zippie]

are you for real ? jim was making a valid point re the health and safety issue! the pier is not just there for anglers,its for anyone who wants to go there for what ever purpose.if you want to fish around that area there are plenty of other safer marks at the moment so why not fish there ? not being a killjoy but commen sense sometimes is best

right where are the DEEP water marks your allowed to fish in sunderland ? sea mark?roker CLOSED ,south pier CLOSE
D ,rathouse [old north pier]CLOSED hendon docks CLOSED seaham pier ONLY seaham club members,what im trying to say is its the only handy deep water mark in sunderland and its closed ,by the way the holes along the path folk were mentioning have been there all year as far as im concerned,like i said no wonder folk HAVE to go where there not supposed to ,and as far as the beach is concerned ad rather sit and drink white star in a bus stop, and by the way i still think there useless ,should be fixed quicker its now it should be open and thats my opinion not offending anyone thats the way i feel ,and thats that atb plummy
