Following several incidents of vandalism, the Prince of Wales Pier will be closed overnight during the winter season.
From Friday 29th October the pier will close every night from 7.00pm until 8.00am the following morning. Business will carry on as usual for the cafe at the end of the pier which will continue to open during the day at weekends.
Dover Harbour Board have said they are sorry for having to take this necessary step, and apologise for any inconvenience it may cause to those who use the pier in the evenings.
