Colin Jamieson who ran stalls along the now closed pier said he feels like 'nobody is listening'
A man whose family businesses has been thrown into disarray by the closure of Southport pier has spoken of his frustration after “months of delays” in getting information from Sefton Council.
The row over the pier’s closure and when it might reopen has deepened in recent months after Sefton Council announced in June the cost of repairs required on the historic pier could run to more than £13m, which is £10m more than previously anticipated. Sefton Council said in a statement in June it does have “sufficient interim feedback” to confirm the structure remains unsafe and that 25% of the decking will need to be replaced with problems in joists and timber works running to the equivalent of 14 miles.
Another question asked how much money the council has spent on the pier in recent years, which was advised to be £261k on pier maintenance and a further £1.5m capital spend over the last five years.
