Where has the donated money been spent?
We would firstly like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared our appeal, or showed their support for Grand Pier Teignmouth. Every contribution and message of support has meant a great deal to us and to the future of the Pier.
We have now received invoices from TMS Ltd for work carried out on the Pier. These include a £5,000 upfront payment and a further £7,000 invoice for bracing works, totalling £12,000 including VAT (£10,000 excluding VAT).
As public money has contributed towards the Pier’s repair works, we believe it is important that there is transparency over exactly where those funds have gone.
Over the summer, a temporary fastening has been in place to secure the damaged area. A permanent fastening is due to take place on Monday (14/09/26), which will complete this particular piece of work.
New Front
2022 saw the total refurbishment of the Pier frontage. This involved a local building company and crew removing old wood and rebuilding the structure. This took several months and many hours. Finally completed with a new paint job and a very impressive lighting system, just in time for the summer season.
Storm Ingrid
On 24 January, Grand Pier Teignmouth was struck by Storm Ingrid, one of the most powerful storms to affect the South West this winter. The severe conditions caused significant damage to the end section of the pier, resulting in the loss of part of the outer deck. While this was a very difficult moment for the pier and the community who care about it, the main building at the front of the pier and our ice cream shop remain open to visitors. The damage to the outer section highlights the ongoing challenges faced by historic coastal structures exposed to increasingly severe weather conditions.
