no, but i'm sure they will be able to claim on the insurance though, like i said, its very suspicious that this should happen when they cant sell the place |
Re: Fleetwood Pier Destroyed By Fire

I have been visiting Fleetwood a couple of times a month on the coast bus. It is a ghost town on the days when the market is closed, and out of season it is even worse. It is not really a 'holiday resort' any more because there are no attractions other than the market and Freeport. Like others who have posted, I suspect that the fire is 'convenient' |
Re: Fleetwood Pier Destroyed By Fire
I heard it on the radio this morning. There was a local resident who had gone to look at it and was reporting back to the studio by phone whilst it was still burning and spreading.

But wasn't that when the present owner bought it? Not that he's done much with it because local residents objected to some of his plans. |
Re: Fleetwood Pier Destroyed By Fire
well if they objected to some of his plans doesnt that tell you something willow? its and insurance job so they can build something that they wanted to build in the first place

Re: Fleetwood Pier Destroyed By Fire
I would say this is an insurance job, they need to develop the pier to fit in with the 380 planned homes on the docks, queue up pensioners for the new purpose built luxury pensioners apartments (flats, hehe)

But will they? Surely they will still have to submit for planning permission and people will still be able to object. |

Took this photo earlier in the year. Needless to say we managed to go on a day when there was no market. The place was deserted. How on Earth do piers keep catching fire?
