A section of Llandudno Pier has been closed to the public, following concerns about its safety.

You read it here first several weeks ago...  ;)

£331,000 landing stage to be built at end of Llandudno Pier

Conwy County Borough Council in partnership with Six Piers Ltd has announced it will build a new £331,000 landing stage at the end of Llandudno pier in order to attract more tourists to the area.
 
The pier’s former landing stage fell into disrepair in 2006, but with a new landing stage constructed, boat cruises will be able to sail from the pier once again to attractions such as Puffin Island.  Work is set to start on The Dolphin Landing Stage in July and could be completed as early as October.


When is work set to start?  &shake&

Nothing has started yet when I was down there yesterday morning.

Maybe all the construction work is being carried out elsewhere.

There is a lot of offshore work going on now and this will only increase in the coming few years. Unlike with offshore gas and oil rigs there is no readily available helideck to utilise that form of transport, so the next best option is to repair the landing stage at the end of the Pier so that it’s fit for Public Transport and use Llandudno as a Hub to move the workforce to where they are needed.

Why is anyone surprised?   I for one never expected the work to be completed October.
As Bri says, nothing has been done.
An update would have been nice wouldn't it?

Anybody with mobility issues should be made aware that all the benches have been removed except for a couple just after the Golden Goose.

Anybody with bladder issues should also be aware there are currently no toilets open either.

  just read Blongb s post. Seems a good suggestion. Difficult to tell the nautical distance from the shore but the existing points, Mostyn docks and Birkenhead, would, I imagine, involve more travelling. Mike

The landing stage was to be finished by October according to the Forum.
So has work started yet ?
It would be nice if someone responsible for the work could give us a progress report or is that expecting to much.

Hope to pay a visit to Llandudno before Christmas and was hoping to see the new landing stage for myself as well as the Christmas lights.
Hope the journey from Mull will be worth it  :D :laugh:!

If they do not confirm the Landing stage will be available for Summer 2013 how do they expect Balmoral or Waverley to include serving Llandudno next year ?

These firms need plenty of advance notice to draw up a programme of sailings then produce reliable publicity.

Another wasted year coming up.

Come on Llandudno get a grip I am sure other places in North Wales/North west will jump in and offer facilities.
