Click on the links above to read the correspondence. The temporary railings I have been assured by TDC that the temporary railings were installed after an engineer's report indicated that many of the railing sections are no not sufficiently secured to the cliff top coping stones. The works to replace and stabilise these cannot be undertaken until pile driving on the lower site is complete. I have just 11th of May 2007 photographed a considerable run of the railings behind the temporary railings, the pictures speak for themselves really. There is just no sign of cracking looseness or corrosion around where any of the railings go into the copingstones apart from one short area near Augusta stairs. I should also add that leaving the cracks in the tarmac for four years will not have helped the structural integrity of the chalk below at all. The temporary railings have several gaps in them so nipped through and took a picture of each side of every post click here if you want to see them it's the most boring bit of photography I have ever done.
