Fleetwood Heritage Pier
Fleetwood Development Trust have made a rival bid for a replacement for the burned out pier. The new building will be a Heritage Pier and will be for the benefit of tourists and local folk alike.
The mainstay of a series of attractions will include the following.
- A rolling maritime heritage exhibition.
- A planetarium/cinema.
- A debating chamber for the newly formed Town Council (this will also be available to local interest groups for meetings and displays).
- A cafeteria/coffee shop.
- A viewing platform to allow visitors to make full use of the panoramic vista of Morecambe Bay.
-
Local schools will have the opportunity to participate in projects such as The Jason Project.
And much more.
Several large corporations have expressed interest in supporting the project and an artist’s impression shows the projected building.

I am in full favior of this building, mabe it could also incorporate something for local anglers.
That could be a bit problematical. The proposed building will not extend over the beach as that area is now classified as a SSSI due to the grasses on it.
