Steelwork repairs are ongoing at the Pierhead. No sign of any work on the Landing Stage though, even the scaffolding has disappeared.

The currently empty kiosk halfway down the Pier is to sell high end porcelain gifts this season:

Speaking of which, has anyone booked tickets for the Waverley yet? I can't see the cruises from the Pier listed on their website?

Try the North Wales section of the Waverley website.
On there.

I have been in touch with Waverley Excusions about lack of information and they have reply as follows:

" We have given the Council a deadline to confirm the situation with Llandudno pier and we will update passenges once we have any further information. "

Hope the restoration work is still going ahead. It looked hopefull last week with photos of scaffolding in place but I note it as now been taken down. Although I do wonder what it has to do with the council.

The Council is managing the project on behalf of Six Piers Ltd. I understand that, due to the delays, they have now placed their best men on the job:

Dave I've booked and paid for the Anglesey Coast trip on the 2nd of June from Llandudno but after your post I checked the Waverley Excursions web page and the trip is no longer listed. I can't believe its fully booked that quickly, so I wonder what’s going on?

I believe there is uncertainty about whether the work on the Landing Stage will be complete by the scheduled date.

Due to detailed enquiries various people have been notified that the gun has been well and truly jumped - and not by anyone in North Wales.

That timetable was never discussed with anyone in authority and it was only when enquiries were made that the truth came to light and caution was advised.

The annoying thing is that an alternative itinerary is available to the steamer operators - not involving Llandudno at that date unfortunately, but bringing the paddler back to Liverpool on a routine that almost guarantees a sell out and maximum publicity - but the company seems to think it doesn't need that sort of thing.

Llandudno can then be scheduled for another more realistic date later in the summer when works are likely to be complete.

This was never going to be a quick or simple scheme to implement due to the mix of public money and private assets, which will take time to document - even when everyone wants to proceed as they do here.

Personally I can't wait to walk down the pier and sail away again - it seems a long time ago that I last did it.
