New cast iron gates and security cameras will be installed on Southport Pier to increase safety at the historic landmark structure.
Sefton Council is seeking Listed Building Consent to install four new cast iron gates as well as a security camera system with associated speakers and movement sensors.
At 3,633ft long the Victoria era Southport Pier, which is 163 years old, is the second longest in the UK behind Southend.
The Grade II Listed structure boasts local businesses including two kiosks, the Halfway House and the Pier Pavilion at the end.
The application is for the installation of security camera system and new gates to pier entrances which has been instigated by insurers requirements for the property.
The proposed cameras are standard products, however the camera brackets will be bespoke and designed to match the Southport Pier architectural style. The new gates to stairs leading to the Pier will be in matching style as the existing stair railing and gates
The application has been submitted by Southport firm RAL Architects, which said: “Southport is a desirable location for leisure seekers, drawn to the resort’s reputation as a Victorian Seaside Town, and the presence of an excellent beach, overlooked by the pier.

“The introduction of a new security camera system and gates will improve the safety of the Pier and its surroundings, as required by insurers and will potentially attract more visitors.
“The proposal is fully sustainable in respect of the function and usage of Southport Pier.
“We consider the installations will cause no harm to the Listed Heritage Asset.”
Southport pier was first suggested in the 1840s however the works began in 1859.
Designed by James Brunlees, the pier opened in 1860 and not long after waiting and refreshment rooms for boat passengers were added.

In early 2000 the Pier refurbishment started after obtaining sufficient funds following a campaign by the Southport Visiter.
Phase one, which included the restoration of the main structure and the construction of a new pavilion, was completed in May 2002 and the full length of the pier was reopened to the public. The third and final phase of the upgrade to the pier began in 2016 with the opening of two new kiosks, along with new telescopes on the pier.
Southport Pier was officially Listed on 18th August 1975.
