I AM sure when the Grand Pier is re-built Weston will have the wow factor, but unfortunately it won t be this year.

Taking a walk along our sandy beach the other day it looked like a builder's yard and, with work going on near Knightstone building the splash wall I can't see many people, visiting Weston this year.

Shops are closing right, left and centre with this downturn and certain individuals are looking at Weston through rose-coloured glasses if they think this year will be blooming.
