The Pier Revisited
Posted: Tue Apr 25, 2017 6:31 pm
Most people seem to like the new Pier, especially in the sense that it is better than the dilapidated old one.
What strikes me is that, apart from the odd times that a fairground ride or two is visiting the pier, there is no place at all for small kids to have some fun.
I do remember seeing pictures of the pier in the early days when there was a round disc-like structure with coloured zones that kids could clamber on and be whizzed round with a rubberised fall zone to prevent injuries.
There is a similar small structure like this in the mini-golf end of the old town right now.
Surely some money could be found to put a few simple playground structures at the entrance to the pier? Something to bring people in and have some fun!!
