I will be raising funds for Fleetwood People’s Pier CIC by walking up Snowdon in Wales, on Saturday 9th May, formed as a non-political, non-profit making organisation, to develop and deliver a strategy which hopes to reverse the ongoing decline of our once prosperous town, since the demise of the fishing industry in the 1970s. This new community led vision is hoping to kickstart a regeneration mentality within its once thriving community.

The Company's initial aim is to develop a modern site, incorporating a social hub/cafe and a market place of Wooden Huts, a Jetty out to sea and possibilities of outdoor events spaces to include a cinema/theatre/rides etc.

This initiative aligns directly with Fleetwood’s long term regeneration priorities by creating employment, improving economic resilience, and providing a modern community focal point.

Securing this site will bring a historical landmark back into the hands of the community and provide a focal point for community activity. Our long term goal is to make the facilities, activities and services more affordable and accessible to all, stimulating growth by increasing visitor footfall, which in turn will generate income streams in order to boost the struggling local economy.

Obviously this won't happen over night there are conversations to have, plans to be made, a site to secure and funds to be raised. All that we ask is that the people of Fleetwood rally round and get behind us to make this happen.
