Wick Harbour Steps / Update
Has anyone else noticed the shambolic state of the steps at Wick Harbour...the ones beside the big old chimney?
A few time I have been walking down and slipped, this morning I nearly went head-first down! A lot of the steps are crumbling and have no straight edge to them! On top of that they're covered in slimey mud and stones which add to the difficulty of it!
Has anyone else had any encounters with these steps? Sorry to moan but I want something to be done about this!

to be perfectly honest,im not having a go,but if you have walked on them once and thought they are a state common sense should kick in and not use them again until you are happy with state of them,unless you are waiting for yourself to slip on them and think that will move there lazy butts to fix them.
but yes i do agree with you they are in a state.

It's the route I like to walk and I'm not going to change it because the council aren't maintaining the town properly.
The steps are there to be used so i'm going to use them.

I really Couldn't really say. Maybe you could try contacting Iain Sutherland or Malcolm Bremner the harbour-master.

someone on the harbour trust might know also am sure IAIN would be well clued up on it tony

I would think so to Tony. A couple of signs stating that the stairs are dangerous should cover it or they could fence them off as well.

I think money could be the deciding factor in this case, WHT dont seem to have a lot of money due to a lack of trade, so where would the funds come from??

Tried in my heels once.... the hospital seems o.k. though...

That's why I suggested a couple of warning signs or perhaps fencing the steps off.

What the hell are you doing in Wick?

Visiting people riffman! I'm worried someone is going to do some serious damage. I've seen kids going up and down the stairs.
