A trust which wants to take on the running of a Victorian pier has received a funding boost.
The Bognor Pier Trust was set up in September to take over the freehold of the Grade II-listed structure from its owner.
The trust has now been awarded a government grant of £10,000 to help it with fundraising and legal costs.
