Businesses at Exeter Quayside are reminding people that they are open for business as normal during works to repair part of a landmark wall. The popular Quay Cellar businesses and quayside footpath will remain open throughout the repair works. A team of abseiling engineers are currently carrying out strengthening work on the wall above the cellar units at Exeter Quay. Repair and stabilisation works are being carried out by the Council to a 105-metre stretch of cliff face wall.
