    Government or a Trust should buy it. Landmarks should not be owned by private companies.

  2. The weird thing is, places with a bit of character and history where tourists can wander and mingle are normally big draws. Maybe they could sweep away all the crap and put some pricey bars and restaurants on it.

    The cynic in me says it’s going to be bought up by a foreign equity firm, rents and prices will rise, quality will drop and it will be crumbling within a decade.

    I hope not though.

  4. Its biggest problem is that its stuck in the past. People aren’t as interested in fairground rides and arcades as they used to be. Its primarily aimed at kids with not much to really draw in the adults.

    Used to live near Brighton and loved going to the pier (had no kids and was single at the time, just liked walking around the pier).

    Had so many doughnuts and food snatched from me, bloody seagulls lol.

    “The group first raised suggestions of a sale back in November, warning of a notable slump in profits, with the pier’s like-for-like sales dropping by around 4% in 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.”

    No mention of them starting to charge for entry to the pier in 2024 and increasing that charge in 2025.

  7. I think the entrance fee on top of paying for everything on it was probably its final nail. That and the really miserable pub on it.
