A consultation on the future of the new Colwyn Bay pier is open.
Working in conjunction with the local community, the Colwyn Victoria Pier Trust would like to know what future plans might look like, what the pier structure could be used for and what people feel about further extending the pier in the future.
Currently the Trust are preparing plans to enhance the truncated pier by creating a venue for events, family friendly attractions and facilities.
The aim of the Project is to Build upon the work recently completed by Conwy County Borough Council and to further develop and extend the Pier by restoring it to its former glory, offering a 21st century solution that benefits, visitors, residents, and the business community.
In its proposals the Trust wishes to provide:
- A venue for events, family friendly attractions and facilities
- A year-round facility for the people of Colwyn Bay and wider area
- A Pier which focuses on quality and the right aesthetic
- A Pier which supports, promotes and develops Welsh culture and the Welsh language.
The Trust has been in discussions with the Local Authority with a view to taking on operational responsibility for the Pier in due course, but this will be partly dependent on developing the right business model and ensuring that the community has an ongoing role to play in its future.
"We need to gather the interests of not only the local community but everyone who has an opinion on the pier and ultimately the future of Colwyn Bay."
"We would kindly ask that you take a few minutes of your time to complete the survey and help us to consult the community."
