Clacton Pier's new ride ready to use once lockdown is lifted

Essex's seaside attraction, Clacton Pier is making final touches to the new water log flume ride which will be ready to use once coronavirus lockdown is lifted.

Billy Ball and his brother Elliot, who own the Pier, have been working on the project with a small in-house technical services steam, while keeping a safe distance from each other.

They say, work still needs to be carried out to install the electrical and safety control systems, but the entire structure has now been completed.

The logs, which people sit in are also currently undergoing a full refurbishment.

The site was preparing to bring in extra teams to get the rides ready for Easter, but the plans had to be put on hold due to the continuity of the lockdown.
