Managing the present

The Trust is responsible for the remains of the pier and the administration of the site.

This includes:

  • Being the landlord for Brighton i360. This gives us an income and a partnership which provides a firm foundation and enables us to plan for the future
  • Managing our responsibilities for the near-shore wreckage of the original pier
  • Establishing a base for the Trust in a seafront arch to build our profile and promote our activities

Planning the future

The Trust is exploring the creation of a new contemporary West Pier for Brighton which complements and enhances the character of the city.

We will oversee:

  • Proposals and ideas for a financially viable new structure
  • Consultation with the people of Brighton on our plans for the future
