One of the most iconic and best loved piers in Wales has secured a huge cash sum for further restoration works to return it to its former glory. A deal has been struck which will see £1.85 million in funding invested into Mumbles Pier.
It is part of a re-finance plan so works can start on the next stage of refurbishment including full renovations to the base of the pier, allowing, according to the pier owners, for a space in an unrivalled location for alfresco dining and outdoor events and securing jobs for the next seven years.
It will also go towards updating the Big Apple, which WalesOnline recently reported had become a shadow of its former self. A shattered window, a buckled door and even graffiti reading 'No to vaccines' are among the signs it has sadly become a target for vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
