A reviewer to Tripadvisor described the pier’s ‘admission costs as a joke’.

“No wonder the number of visitors on a banking holiday was low on Monday … will not go back.”

Visitor ‘JJ L’, who left a One Star review, said: ‘What a scam! What a disappointment it paid! ‘
‘Gregory P’ said: ‘Absolutely disgusting that they now charge a fee to walk down the pier!
