During February we have been busy down on the harbour tidying up the Quay. And are pleased to have worked with www.odysseyinnovation.com who are a specialist marine waste management company who pioneered the UK’s Net Regeneration Scheme. I'm sure you will all agree that it is great to see the old nets go off to be created into something new.

Since the last update in October, we had a very useful meeting with the Environment Agency who are looking into whether they can contribute towards the cost of repairs to the Pier. A reminder that we need to raise £900,000 to do this. Their initial view was it would be difficult due to the amount of money already spent on the Harbour Gate, but they will review their calculations for the gate and assess the issues of the Pier against their funding criteria.

The Prince of Wales Pier was originally constructed in 1860. As the outermost pier in the Harbour, it takes the full force of storms particularly when there is a south-easterly gale blowing. It forms part of the Polperro Conservation Area and is a Listed Building.

It is with deep regret that we advise that our Chairman Mike Pengelly passed away on 17th June. Mike was a Polperro fisherman who loved the harbour and dedicated nearly 40 years service as a Trustee. We will miss his knowledge, guidance and sense of humour.

Polperro harbour is normally dredged a couple times a year, this is to remove the build up of sand and setiment that is washed down the valley. this allows boats to work inside the harbour for longer.

The outer Platt has had some much needed restoration. Making it safer for holiday makers to board tripping boats. Our thanks to Trustee and contractor Roger Puckey and his team. Ably supported by our ever present Harbour Master Olly and his boat Smuggler

The gate is in! It was a stressful morning for everyone involved.

We have had a visitor from landing barge 'MTS Terramare' which brought in a clear flow lorry. Along with South west water and the environment agency they cleared a good amount out and are due back next year.
