The re-build continues!

The Grand Pier Pavilion re-build continues at pace with this week seeing the cladding to the southern elevation being completed, the northern elevation more than half way complete and work has also started on cladding the towers. Also, the roof is almost completely covered with the 'under sheet' that sits beneath the final waterproof sheeting of the main roofs.

The metal floors creating the first and second levels are in place and ready for the concrete to be poured early in the New Year.

Kerry Michael said, 'we are pleased with the progress we are making however we have slipped a little due to the adverse weather throughout December. We are hopeful to make up any lost time as soon as the building is fully enclosed and in the dry. It's taking shape now and for the first time you can see the outline and scale of the new Pavilion. The response from the public has been fantastic as the building goes up and we are all very encouraged by the support we are receiving'.
