🆘Yesterday evening was Full Council, another productive evening making decisions to move the district forward.
One of the items we discussed was Watchet Harbour and the Walls both at East Quay and Splash Point.
After years of limited action the central section of the wall is needing repair so we have agreed for this to occur with expected costs in the region of several hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Due to the damage that occurred prior to Christmas at Splash Point we have set aside funds to start the design work on the long term options. The full costs for the repair will have to be established and funded once known later in the Spring.
We currently are going to receive no funds from central government for this so will have to finance the whole project ourselves with in total for the two projects in excess of £700,000.
It was great to hear local feedback that they felt it was a positive move that the Harbour was in new hands, with the new administration making a difference compared to previously.
