It's great that the Pier finally has an Owner prepared to put his money where his mouth is and invest in the pier.
Llandudno pier owner on £700,000 makeover plans05:00, 19 FEB 2016
BY OWEN HUGHESRevamped entrance units, lighting and background music, and steelwork all part of the revamp
Work is underway to revamp the entrance of the iconic Llandudno pier as part of £700,000 of investment since new owners bought the attraction.
Tir Prince boss Adam Williams snapped up the £4.5m pier last May - promising to invest money into restoring it to its former glory.
This restoration work started last year on the pier and now they are working on a major revamp of the entrance buildings.
The units - which had rotten wooden floors - have been taken to the Tir Prince workshops in Towyn for makeovers in time for the spring season.
There are also plans to restore lighting along the attraction and pipe in background music.
Adam said: “The entrance is so important to the pier and we wanted to invest in smartening this up.
“The floors were rotten on the existing buildings so work had to be done and at the same time we are giving them a complete facelift.
“We will work on the buildings between the entrance and the arcade and this will see around £300,000 put into this alone.
“We want it to be complete for Easter.”
He said that the plan was to continue working their way down the pier, undertaking steelwork and work on the pier balustrades. They had also added new machines in the pier arcade.
He said: “The problem is that it is half a mile long!
“I said when I took over we would invest in the pier and I have not taken a penny from the business.
“Once this current work is complete we will have spent £700,000 on the site.
“A lot of the work people will not even see because it is on the pier structure.
“We hope to improve the lighting later this year and also bring in nice background music.
“We want the lighting to be like it used to be and give the whole attraction a softer touch. The work will never stop.”
