A very positive meeting with Graeme from NAPPER, Tony from the Marina and a few folk from this group this morning to talk about the ramp and it’s potential impact for everyone and the area.
The feasibility study has now been formally commissioned.
A topographical survey will now be undertaken along with a pre-planning application as the first stages in the feasibility study. Updates will be made as they come in. It’s a long way to go yet but the process has started!

Hi everyone I have lits of bodyshop products and other items I'd like to put to good use. So I am looking at setting up a rolling number where as the proceeds would ho straight into the gofund me pot for the ramp. If anyone has any items they could donate to this it would be massively appreciated thank you. X

I have spoken to Lisa at the Harbour. They are in no way averse to installing a ramp. She is going to speak to the architect that drew up plans before and see if we can revisit those. The reasons that it was not installed five years ago were because of the engineering involved in building the ramp, the prohibitive cost, and the ongoing maintenance requirements.
This is Seaton in Devon and similar to what Mel was talking about last night.
