The structure was built to protect the beach and main pier, which has dramatically shortened over the years.

Assistant Economic Development Minster Alan Maclean said that the damage, a regular problem, was caused by erosion by the sea.

‘The conditions at Grve de Lecq can be fairly wild,’ he said, ‘and the pier takes quite a battering from the sea.’

Deputy Maclean said that he wanted to see a more permanent solution to the erosion of the pier.

‘We don’t want to spend money on temporary measures,’ he said.
