Volunteers are campaigning to reopen and bring Portishead pier back into community use.
The Portishead Pier Interest Group is more than 150 members strong and formed in January on social media. Members launched the group to build on community knowledge of the history of the pier, as well as work with multiple local councils to bring the facility back into public use.
In March, members had a Zoom meeting to start initial talks with Bristol City Council (BCC), which owns the pier.

BCC ‘firmly indicated’ due to its location outside of Bristol, it is ‘unlikely’ the council will ‘ever invest in the pier’. However, the authority is ‘very open’ to discussion with North Somerset Council (NSC) on the transference of the asset, which could lead to NSC, community or other raised investment in the pier.
