NEW BRIGHTON PIER
Fear For Future Fear that the New Brighton pier will fall into disrepair and cease to be a Canterbury landmark, was expressed by the president of the New Brighton Business Association (Mr C. McEwin) at a meeting of the council of Canterbury Progress League last evening. “Repairs to the pier would be expensive,"’ he said. “It seems unlikely that the City Council will take it over and there is no chance of the New Brighton residents subscribing to a maintenance fund. “Preservation would only be possible if someone took over the pier and spent a lot of money on it,” said Mr McEwin.
“Tlie recent heavy seas and tidal disturbances did not do undue damage to the pier, so it may be that its condition is not as bad as believed,” he said.
