Repairs to a harbour in Cornwall that was damaged by the winter storms are likely to exceed £250 000, the National Trust has revealed, as access to the harbour remains restricted.The figure for Mullion Harbour is in addition to £300 000 spent in 2007 and a further £95 000 in 2012.The National Trust said the harbour walls had stood up well but repairs would begin soon.Volunteers have helped staff to collect stones in the harbour throughout summer 2014. These had been ripped from the western wall and the southern wall too, which has now been temporarily repaired.
The National Trust work year-round to protect the harbour and repair damage caused by the wild weather that this exposed piece of coast is often subjected to. In recent years, however, mounting costs of maintenance and repair and an ageing structure have made the National Trust re-think their strategy. With an increase in the number of storms, it will become difficult to meet future costs.
The cost of the winter stormsFacing west into the prevailing winds, the harbour is exposed to the full fury of winter gales. Averaged out over the past 20 years, over £1500 a week has been spent on repeatedly repairing and strengthening the harbour walls.
