East pier bridge ?

[Gas_mantle]

Anyone know where we really stand on the Whitby East pier bridge fiasco ?

I've heard alsorts of rumours about a survey being planned to assess the cost of repairs etc but nothing seems to be more than hearsay.

The last tale I heard was the estimated cost of a survey (not the actual repair) was going to be £130,000 surely that cant be right ? I'd have thought you build a new bridge for that !

Someone here must have some info thats a bit more reliable ?

It sure would 

Maybe I'm just an old cynic here but I cant see it happening tho 

Just as a matter of interest anyone know for certain when it was removed ?

Don't think you'll see that mended inside of 10 year, if ever. Only thing that would push it faster is a health and safety issue - ie someone like the coastguard needed access to the pier.

On the West pier yesterday I spoke to a couple of workmen who were replacing a ladder, they said they do most of the pier repairs and inspections and neither of them have heard of plans to even carry out a survey let alone build a new bridge.

One guy was particularly helpful and his thoughts were it will never happen, apparently the East extension has had no maintenance (or very little) done for a least 10 yrs and in his opinion the cost bringing it up to meet the minimum safety standards would be as much as a new bridge.

I guess that kinda confirms what we already suspected
