This week’s stormy sea conditions have once again ripped up the surface of Burnham-On-Sea’s jetty, causing thousands of pounds of damage.
Strong winds from Storm Amy, combined with high tides, sent large waves onto the structure.
Somerset Council, which maintains the structure, has confirmed part of the tarmac surface had been damaged and washed away from the lower area of the jetty, as pictured.
The authority says it is assessing the damage and is asking people to keep away from the damaged area.
A Somerset Council spokesperson said: “There is clearly significant damage and we would ask people to adhere to the signs and not to go down onto the broken tarmac until we can assess what repairs need to be done.”
“Our team will be progressing this once the current hide tides have passed.”
The jetty has needed surface repairs multiple times in recent years following severe storms.
