Sky News<\/a> the pier was already in poor condition, and it was unclear whether it could be fixed as it is privately owned.<\/p>\n\u201cIt goes out for a bit and then effectively there is a portion of it that has just washed away, dissolved, and then you have another little bit of the structure that is still standing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pier was built in the 1860s. It has been through a bit of wear and tear, it\u2019s had storm damage before and been through wars.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a family who own the pier and has done so for multiple generations. But the pier itself is a focus of our community, it\u2019s right there on the front of our boardwalk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weather warnings remain in place on Sunday morning for Scotland and Northern Ireland (Met Office)<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cThe arcade aspect to it, the games, are used by residents and visitors of all ages, so it\u2019s a really important feature. It stands out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we know, at seaside resorts those with piers are very few and far between, so the fact we have it here is something that we appreciate and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rain is set to clear from Devon after 9am tomorrow, but will cover other parts of Somerset and Dorset into tomorrow afternoon.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, eastern parts of Scotland will see a further 20 to 30mm of rain, and a few spots could see 50mm, after three days of wet weather across the region lasting until 9am on Sunday. Above 400 to 500m, however, a lot of this will fall as snow, with rain confined to areas below this level.<\/p>\n
Northern Ireland will see heavy rain overnight from 8pm on Saturday until 9am on Sunday. As part of the slow-moving low-pressure system, 10 to 20mm is expected widely. In a few areas, as much as 25mm could fall in 12 hours, leading to flooding and difficult driving conditions.<\/p>\n
It will also become windy with easterly winds reaching 30 to 35mph inland, and up to 45 to 55mph on some coasts and over high ground. Winds are expected to ease after midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-388628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
