Are forumites aware that a floating visiting pontoon is in the pipeline for Kings Lynn?
When I visited (by road) last year the Tourist Information told me there were plans and I was told yesterday that now apparently the necessary permissions have been granted.
I have been told that it is the approx 100ft pontoon that is brought out from time to time to accommodate visiting tall ships - it will just be left out. So, presumably it will be out of action a few weeks a year when a ship visits. I have also been told by TI that it will be managed by the Green Quay visitors centre.
No firm date for opening, but they say they are aiming for July.
I hope all this is true & comes to fruition - it's high time that this historically important port was easier to visit!
