Sandness Community Development (SCD) is considering the viability of Melby Pier as a community owned asset. With the Council indicating that they may sell the pier, car park, and old toilet block, we need to look at ways they could be developed and adapted in ways that benefit the community. So it's vital to have the most up to date understanding of your thoughts, ideas and priorities. This will inform a feasibility study and then, once we all understand what will be involved, the community will be involved in the final decision whether to acquire Melby Pier.

Our aim is to:
  • preserve the site for public use
  • find ways to generate income that can be invested back into the community
  • improve facilities for visitors like campers, kayakers and walkers
  • look at other ways the site could be developed, again for community benefit
  • provide ways for the community to work together in making Melby Pier a place that we can all enjoy

This survey is the way you can let us know what you think about the future of Melby Pier. Completing it will help us know what the community wants,

Thank you.
