Repair work under way at storm-hit Wick harbour

WORK has begun at Wick harbour to repair the damage which was caused to the outer quay during storms during December and January.

Wick Harbour Authority confirmed repairs started on Tuesday morning with Lybster-based John Gunn & Sons carrying out the first phase of the job.

Contractors were back on site on Friday morning as repair works to the quayside continue.
