It was closed all day yesterday there was 2 vans and a car and a boat at the end of the pier doing some sort of repair work never seen any divers in the water so i don't no what there doing and i don't no how long its closed for vans left around 3.30pm so you can get on after there gone i guess.

Can't see what the problem is here...

The repair workers/maintenace were on last year and everybody still went up there fishing...

in the past the workmen have always beem o k and let the anglers alone, just keep out their way so to avoid accidents , if workers on pier near where i want tp fish i always ask where their not going to work and fish in that spot

[Pete from shields]

Cheers for replies lads I wasn't so sure it would be ok to go up while they worked, I guess they need to keep the general public off.

Giving the workmen a couple of fish last year worked wonders for good relations when I was there lol.

I fished the pier today and it was open and no work going on. I guess they must have finished what they were doing now.
