After being struck by a fishing boat on Friday 17th February Southend Pier has been closed to the public.
However the pier walkway will be open over the weekend of Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th March.
The Pier will close to the public again from Monday 12th to Friday 16th March to enable ongoing repair work but it is hoped that it will continue to be accessible to pedestrians at weekends.
The railway will not be running and all entrance fee’s will be reduced to £1 per person.
The RNLI are currently running a stall at the shore end of the pier.
