The results of the structural appraisal of Colwyn Bay Pier were presented to the Colwyn Pier Task & Finish Group by Consulting Engineers Posford DATRYS on Thursday (07/10/10).
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.
The discussions that followed involved the issues of ownership, work required and how to obtain funding for restoration.
Posford DATRYS estimated the renovation of the pier, with pavilion building, could be in the region of £5.5million.
It was agreed that all parties work together to explore options as to how to restore and rejuvenate the pier.
Cllr Brian Cossey chaired the meeting, he 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.”
