RESTORATION work on Colwyn Bay pier could cost £5.5 million according to a new report.
The results of the structural appraisal of Colwyn Bay Pier were presented to the Colwyn Pier Task and Finish Group by Consulting Engineers Posford Datrys last week.
Conwy County Borough Council officers and councillors were joined by representatives of the Pier Pressure Group, a Trustee in Bankruptcy and Welsh Assembly Government to hear the details of the report, and to discuss issues of ownership, the work required and how to obtain funding for restoration.
According to Posford Datrys, work renovating the pier and the pavilion building are estimated to cost about £5.5 million.
It was agreed that all parties work together to explore options as to how to restore and rejuvenate the pier.
Cllr Brian Cossey, who chaired the meeting, said: “I’m very pleased to report that we had a very constructive and positive meeting. We’re moving forward, considering the funding options and the potential of a sustainable business model.”
