As you will be aware Sun Pier has been closed to leisure boat owners for a
number weeks. The MSBA has been seeking an update from Medway Council on
when the Sun Pier will re-open to leisure craft. It is currently restricted
to commercial vessels only.
Medway Council have today confirmed that the pier will not reopen to Leisure
craft until the drying docking of the pontoons and necessary repairs have
been completed which is anticipated to be the end of November 2024.
In the meantime, the Council have advised that it will be conducting a
comprehensive review of the Pier’s use and who has access to it.
The MSBA will be keeping a watchful eye on these discussions as this is an
asset that was repaired using Council funds for all to use and not just for
commercial organisations.
The MSBA will update members as soon as possible on developments.
Kind regards
