A business has hit out after Southport Pier was shut over health and safety concerns.
Earlier in December, Sefton Council announced that it was closing the pier to the public due to “significant and unavoidable damage” to the decking boards of the pier created by the cold conditions. Following the closure notice, just six days later, Southport Pier Pavilion took to Facebook to express their frustration.
The business wrote: "To all of our wonderful customers and followers. We have had many messages today asking whether the pier will re-open now the ice has melted, as the news articles stated was the problem. Or rather irritating the problem that was already in hand.
