The K'nocker - Winter 2012

The condition of our aged harbour is regularly inspected by Moray Council. Inspections of quay faces which are submerged at low tide are carried out at 2 year intervals by divers. Other inspections are carried out annually and, if necessary, after storms. Inspections and repairs are inanced by the Council's Larbour Maintenance budget. The inspection after the spring storm this year found that a large block of concrete had been swept from the seaward end of the MacDonald Pier. The pier was repaired urgently, as soon as the tides and weather were conducive. The seats around the paddling pool and harbour have now been replaced. They were sufering from broken spars and degrading concrete bases.
