Survey licence not yet granted

Plans to refurbish the Queen's Pier in Ramsey are not going as quickly as those behind them would like.

Speaking ahead of a public meeting this evening, retired engineer Tom Durrant, who's leading the bid, said they were waiting for a licence to carry out a survey of the Victorian structure.
