Birnbeck Pier, Weston-Super-Mare - North Somerset (UA)
Birnbeck Pier is a unique and nationally important structure connecting the mainland below the Prince Consort Gardens to Birnbeck Island. Enforcement action in the form of a Repairs Notice was served on the owners in September 2019 but has not been complied with. The Council is now working towards the potential Compulsary Purchase Order of the pier with guidance and funding from Historic England.
