Llandudno Pier is up for sale at £4.5 million  $walesflag$

And Broadway Boulevard for a pound

The boulevard is more in my price range  L0L

And mine !

And you can have the whole BHS chain for £1 as well!

If we have a whip round, we could buy most of Llandudno between us  D)

Which is why a local consortium would be a desirable buyer, (in my opinion)

Interesting question.  Fester's idea is good, but the consortium would have to be able to get the banks to back it.

Merddin, think about it...
You make some money..... you don't spend any...... you end up with a big profit!

15 years ago, I had a client who was employed full-time as a painter with a permanent contract on the pier and he was not working there as a painter on his own.

Yes, very true! You wonder if it makes so  much profit why sell it? I would expect that any new owner would need to spend a fortune on it!  ££$

Maybe they're worried that the Grand might simply fall over and land on it?

 :laugh: good point Ian!  I wonder if these three piers for sale will affect the future of Colwyn Bay pier? Will the other three piers also want money from the Heritage  lottery funding?

Maybe the people of Colwyn Bay should buy Llandudno Pier, tow it round and replace the dilapidated one they've got - cheaper than re-building  WWW WWW WWW

An ITV film crew on the Pier today.
They are still here as I type this.

It's that reporter who always looks scruffy, and talks with a bunged up nose.
If you don't know who I mean, tune in at 6.00pm tonight,and you'll see him.
