Airport scaffolding works set to cost up to £300k

The figure was released following a freedom of information request

Works involving scaffolding at Guernsey Airport are set to cost up to £300,000, the States have said.

The roof of the airport was damaged in Storm Ciaran in November 2023, with scaffolding put up the following year to assess what repairs were needed.

The installation, maintenance, and future dismantling of the scaffolding, an engineering survey, and ongoing project management are collectively "budgeted to cost up to £300,000", the States revealed following a freedom of information request.

The States added there was no set timescale for when the works would be completed.

It depended on the extent of necessary repairs and the availability of funding, the States added.

The information was released by the States as part of a freedom of information request made by the BBC.

"The installation, maintenance and dismantling of the scaffolding, the engineering survey, and the ongoing project management are collectively budgeted to cost up to £300,000," the States said.

The government said the airport work would need to be prioritised alongside other critical infrastructure maintenance across the ports.
