The actual camera has now been relocated and the fibre cables are being relaid. The pier staff expect to have most of the cable work complete on Friday." In other words, it's been delayed - yes, again! What a surprise ............    Report

Probably the same person in charge of the webcam as the proposed water park ;-) Anyway "Friday" was 6 days ago... how long does it take to set up a webcam? Sean    Report

Anyway "Friday" was 6 days ago... how long does it take to set up a webcam? Sean Depends on the person. Given what they are proposing to do I would estimate that it would take me an hour or two at the most.    Report

Which Friday? 2013?? Are we to assume that nobody actually wants to take responsibility for getting it up and running again? Sean    Report

It would hardly cost me anything either. So what's the problem? It's not rocket science ..............    Report

It's all still in working order so is being put back up today and then plugged back in. So fingers crossed it will be back online by the end of the day Clare    Report

I don't think the pier folk give a damn about the webcam... Claire etc. can moan at them that it's down until the cows come home, if they decide they have higher priorities then everybody has to wait. I rather hoped they'd move it somewhat further down the pier, or even onto something like the Winter Gardens - but clearly didn't happen, hence it's subject to being demolished at any given moment as they tear apart the fabric of the pier.
