Birnbeck Pier Restoration
North Somerset Council is restoring the Grade II* listed Birnbeck Pier and associated buildings in Weston-super-Mare after decades of closure.[1][2]
Current position
Four of the pier’s 16 replacement deck spans are in place. The council expects public reopening in summer 2027; later island-building and north-jetty phases have separate timetables.
Benefits
- The restoration would reopen access to a nationally significant coastal landmark and support Weston-super-Mare’s heritage and visitor economy.
