    There’s still time to have your say in a survey on the future of the ‘Drying Racks’ in Lowestoft.

    The Town Council say old fishing drying racks next to The Ness park - are suffering from serious rot and decay with repairs expected to be expensive.

    The survey is set to close this Friday - the 4th August. The existing Drying Racks (which are replicas believed to have been erected in the 1950s of the originals) are suffering from serious rot and decay with repairs expected to be expensive due to the cost of timber and the large amount of wood needing replacing (over 50% according to a recent structural survey).  Alternative suggestions for the Drying Racks include natural decay for wildlife and removal. Members of the public are invited to fill out this short survey to establish public opinion on the future of the Drying Racks which will help inform any decisions made by Lowestoft Town Council.  The survey can be completed by following this website link . Submissions will then be collated and presented at the Parks and Open Spaces Sub-Committee meeting on 15th August.
