Southport Pier closed until further notice due to damage, ice and sub-zero temperatures
Cold weather, damage and ice have meant Southport Pier has been closed to the public until further notice.
Repeated inspections by Sefton Council and contractors over the last 48 hours have meant a decision has been taken to close the pier. . It was announced earlier in the year that an ambitious project would replace more than 53 miles of decking boards along the iconic structure. Over the last 160 years, Southport Pier has undergone extensive repairs.
“Moisture within the planks and joists has frozen causing the decking to lift away from its fixings and we are concerned this could present a safety issue to anyone attempting to walk down the pier.
