Colwyn Bay’s pier attracts interest from investors

Mar 5 2009 by Richard Evans, North Wales Weekly News

INVESTORS are lining up to buy Colwyn Bay’s Victoria Pier, the Weekly News can reveal.

Administrators for the landmark structure have confirmed they’ve received expressions of interest from potential buyers.

The pier is currently in the hands of Manchester-based creditor Royce Peeling Green (RPC), who are managing owner Steve Hunt’s assets.

Mr Hunt was declared bankrupt in July of last year and is battling to take back control of the pier. He is seeking to have the bankruptcy annulled.

Maybe, just maybe, one of these days Mr Hunt will allow the people of Colwyn Bay to have one of their landmarks made good. As long as he continues with his pointless effort to have his Bankruptcy annulled, we have to stare at a few million pounds worth of scrap metal, jutting out into our clear blue waters. Ok maybe the last part is rather exaggerated ;)

But honestly, Mr Hunt, please just accept your fate and let the pier get investment. Before someone gets hurt or killed by it! You had your chance!
