During the past 12 months work on the East Pier has been completed, this involved partial resurfacing of the Pier (including the installation of service ducting and extension of the existing water-main), and the construction of new retaining walls and deck slab at the interface between the East Pier and West Wharf to allow safer HGV access to the West Wharf area of the harbour. The Boatyard area has also been surfaced and drainage installed.
