A cafe owner has told how his business has been left marooned after council chiefs shut down a pier. Colin Jamieson earned his livelihood on Southport Pier which was closed in December last year.
Now the 67-year-old has been left with no income and fears he won’t be able to provide for his family. Colin, who owns the Southport Pier Pavilion, the cafe, and arcade on the pleasure pier, said May and June are usually his most profitable months.
Sefton Council outlined £3million plans to replace the wooden beams which comprise the pier’s surface. Further damage was caused during freezing weather in December and the landmark in Southport, Merseyside, has remained closed
