BUILDING work on the Grand Pier rebuild has progressed well over the Christmas period ready for the opening this year.

The steel forming the upper floors has been installed and although not yet waterproof, most of the roof sheeting has also been installed.
The general shape of the building and towers is now clearly visible.
Co owner Kerry Michael said, "The weather is quite kind to us at the moment without much wind, however the cold weather means that we cannot pour concrete to create the floors.
"Hopefully if we get a break in the cold weather next week, we can catch up then.
"The large floating barge and crane have completed their work and have now left site.
"The remaining works will be completed using the spud leg barge, although we will probably need the big barge back again to erect the Panoramic Tower when that is delivered."

Very good news. We are coming down to Weston in July and we cannot wait to see the Pier in all it's glory. I really do hope that it is completed by then and normal service will be resumed.
We have been coming to Weston for our annual holiday since 1980 and last year was terrible because the Pier was not there. So heres to July 2110.
