The demolition of the remains will all depend on what exactly has been destroyed by the fire, if its the lower level stuff and the main structutre has not been affected then there is a slim possibility of a salvaging opitunity.
A major bracing excisice using scaffolding round what surrived and a long term rebuild plan could be put in place but...
The cost would be very very high and would probably not be met by the insurance company (if insured).
Sadly it is a wooden structure wood burns and with out propper care and maintanance...
If a proper care and maintanance programme had been implemented by the owers then things could have been tottaly diffrent, for example the decking on Southend Pier regually has a good soaking after closing time to help cut down on the risk of another fire...
A task as simple as this could have kept the fire down long enough to get crews to the site to catch the blaze before it spread so far.
As I am many miles from Margate and on the other side of the water in Southend could I ask somebody a favour please?
Would anyone be willing to send me a cutting from the local paper about the fire when ever its published I will pay the cost in stamps or cheque.
