So does that mean the pier will be closed during the summer months and people not allowed to walk down or shops to trade or people use the Waverley if it comes? Madness.

Fortunately not, the section on the other side of the kiosk is open, enabling access up/down the pier neck.

   Not quite with u Dave. How do you get onto the "neck" -- climb over the railings? Have I misunderstood you somewhere? Mike

There are walkways to both the left & right of the kiosk you can see closest to the camera on the right. The walkway to the left is blocked of, the walkway to the right remains open.

If the Pier Company has no money then who paid for what looked like a brand new electricty generator to be installed during this past week with the help of Buckleys Crane Hire over the railings and into the area of the Golden Goose?

Scottish Power, because it's their transformer. That building is the electricity sub-station for the entire Pier.

I believe the repair work on the Landing Stage is scheduled to start in late February.

As I understand it, there are no plans to carry out any maintenance work on the decking this year.  &shake&

Last Saturday, I noticed they have begun to replace the decking just beyond the ladies toilets and where there used to be a shop/storeroom.

It seems they have also now decided to close the pier to the general public although I suspect it may still be open to fisherman.

It should be open at weekends Bri, certainly if the weather is reasonable.
The Manager has attempted to run the bar (as a cafe) over the winter.

Also, the schools half term begins on the 8th February this year, so I fully expect the Pier to be open to the general public in the week leading up to that, as I am expecting deliveries!

Fester, I may be wrong,  I have you down as proprietor of the Llandudno Pier version of the Walmington-on-Sea  Novelty Rock Emporium, am I warm? ???

Fester, the pier was open to the public on Saturday as we both know because we exchanged greetings but it has not been open since (as far as I know).

There is a sign mentioning 'closed due to bad weather' on the front gate but when I queried this on Sunday with the pier workers they informed us to ignore what it says on that sign as the pier is closed because of all the work going on at the moment.

They also appear to be carrying out some work with scaffolding at the rear of the cafe at the far end of the pier.

Nemesis, thanks for the kind words.... you must be referring to when my wife is working!  :laugh:

Bri,  yes the Cafe at the Pier Head sustained a lot of storm damage back in Nov/Dec,  and has to be repaired as a matter of urgency.  It is the biggest cash generator on the pier, after the main arcade.

Even the main arcade was shut this morning even though it is advertised as being open on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sunddays.

Fester, how do tenants of kiosks get to know whether or not the pier will be open from one day to another to give them the option of opening or not?

They don't.  That is a major problem for any kiosk owner who lives far away, as some do.
However, from 1st Dec to 28th Feb, it cannot be an issue as we are 'out of contract' anyway.
Therefore we are not actually entitled to access the pier.
