The fine weather is enabling good progress to be made with the Landing Stage repairs:

Some of the wood being removed from the pier yesterday. Serious amounts of rot on some of the pieces and interesting creatures.

They should have tried to put the rotten bits back into the water as those creatures are known as sea squirts , a lovely red colour when submerged. We found some of these strange creatures near the little Orme at low tide under the cliffs.We should try when possible to conserve our sea life. We tell children to replace rocks in pools on the beach what sort of example is it to let things die  &shake& like that.

During my recent visit to Blackpool, I was interested to see how their piers compared with our own. Whilst Central & South Piers appeared a little run down in places, it was North Pier that was most concerning with a real backlog of maintenance work outstanding:

They were very impressive, the Tower was particularly good as it changed colour constanty. I noticed that Blackpool businesses sponsored the various sections along the Prom.

Good to see more decking being renewed by the side entrance to the Pier:

We took a walk down to the end of the pier on Saturday afternoon and it seemed the refurbishment work on the landing stage is now complete.

The anglers were also back on there in force

I believe a decision will shortly be taken to decide whether the Pier will shortly be closing for the Winter completely, with the exception of the arcade at the entrance. That bracing winter stroll along the Pier may sadly be a thing of the past.  :(

Is it a safety issue? Its sad if they do that as we do get some calm days in winter and i have enjoyed a walk on there, but what about all the visitors drawn to llandudno for breaks etc. in the winter.

I hope not-- It is lovely on a cold winter's day.
