These photos show the Environmental Agency contractors at work putting the finishing touches to the (controversial to some) new improved marina facilities along the tidal reach of the river Tillingham at Rye’s Strand Quay.
Almost complete is the brand spanking new floating pontoon where visiting boaters will be able to moor and go ashore. Hopefully without endangering themselves, their families and their friends with an anxiety-inducing leap onto the filthy, slippery rusty ladders of yore. Can anyone confirm if disabled access is also be being made possible?
Further pictures show the new pontoons “taking the mud” as it is known at a lower state of the tide.
Whether or not there will be a public toilet for visitors’ convenience upon arrival remains to be seen thanks to Rother DC’s ongoing closure “test”. Or should that be trial?
