Weston's Grand Pier's owner has hit out at North Somerset Council for not doing enough to support local tourism.

Kerry Michael says he's 'bitterly disappointed' by what the current administration are doingto promote the town, and is cutting ride prices for the rest of September to 'help his attraction beat the recession'.

North Somerset Council says the comments are 'inaccurate', adding that they have improved the tourist information centre and enhanced the promenade.
