I noted the comments by the Pier Owner, with regards to the cancellation of filming, and I find his explanation bizarre, to say the least. Film companies are adept at transforming locations and then returning them to their proper state without causing any damage whatsoever. Very mysterious..
Adam Williams, managing director of Tir Prince Leisure Group, which owns the pier, described the situation as a “huge shame”.
He said: “It’s really unfortunate. We were really looking forward to it.
“The safety of the pier and the potential damage that could have been caused meant that we couldn’t proceed due to the safety of the pier.
“At no point has this been a monetary issue. In fact, we were willing to lose money just to hold the filming.
“But coming up to the latter stages of last week when we were chasing the contract, it became apparent that some of the things they wanted to do, which weren’t disclosed at the start, would need to have been managed by us or not done at all.
“It’s a huge shame, but my priority is that the pier is safe for future generations.”
