Jetty at Peterborough's Thorpe Meadows Boardwalks to be removed after planks rotted
The jetty was closed in October last year
A jetty in Peterborough is set to be removed this week – after planks rotted.
The wooden structure at Thorpe Meadows Boardwalks was closed in October by the city council due to safety concerns.
Now it has been confirmed it will be removed.
A spokesperson for the council said: “The wooden Jetty in Boardwalks, Thorpe Meadows, will be removed this week due to safety concerns.
“The structure was inspected last year, with loose planks and wood rot to the supporting frame discovered. It has now been determined that the structure is at the end of its natural life and will need to be removed.”
