New pier opened

20 May 2021 / Toft, United Kingdom

A new £3.5 million pier has been officially opened at Toft to replace a previous structure which had been deemed unsafe.

Public access to the busy but crumbling pier was blocked off in December 2016. Work to demolish the old structure got under way in September 2019 but poor winter weather, unforeseen ground conditions and Covid-19 restrictions all contributed to added costs and time.

The new pier is expected to become a major landing spot for local shellfish boats. Its 1,100 square metres working area is about three times larger than the old pier and it also includes shore power and lighting.

The pier design also includes a 30-metre ‘dog-leg’ extension which will provide more berthing space for boats and better shelter in poor weather, as well as increased water depth on both the inside and outside of the pier.
