Victoria Pier
Colwyn Bay
This is what conflict and procrastination achieves
DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU…
But it is possible…
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT INSTEAD…!
HEALTH, LEARNING, PROSPERITY
A health pier for the 21st century
Training, employment and enterprise opportunities
Community ownership in perpetuity
All resting on a heritage foundation
and protected with a community umbrella
Restore the 1900 substructure, creating a stable platform
New Health, Fitness, Beauty & Wellbeing Centre at entrance
Restore the 1934 Pavilion as a café-restaurant with workspaces
Health Tracks on the pier deck and Health Shacks alongside
Evening activities, high-impact, low-energy light displays
Community organising approach to development
Local deprivation and ill-health
Victorian interest in health and piers
Fitness & leisure one of fastest-growing industries in UK (£4 bn)
Socially desirable, commercially viable
Piers – flat, free & very popular (72.2% of Welsh population)
Opportunity to test personal health apps at community level
Colwyn Bay –
the healthiest place in Wales…?
