Brenda,

Will visit area on Thursday 6.11.08 to confirm and take some photo's.

Have placed a piece on this in news section of web site today 5/11/08.

Did report on this in the Allen Register section a few months ago when the first boats left the wharf.(In 2009 Allen Rally news).

Will update with any photos ASAP

I received a phone call yesterday from a man whose son lives on his
boat moored at Valencia Wharf. He informed me that his son had received
notice to quit his mooring by 28th February. Holloways intend to fill
in the two arms of the wharf and use it to park their vehicles. Since
yesterday I have now been informed that some boats (non residential)
have been moved from the wharf moorings onto the main line & work is
starting. Can anyone visit the area and confirm this is in process?
