	answer text	<p>The Department for Culture, Media and Sport does not directly provide funding to refurbish privately owned piers. However, funding may be available from the Heritage Lottery Fund and English Heritage depending on a pier meeting their criteria for funding.</p><p>HLF has previously funded a number of piers in public or charitable ownership. Recent changes to their criteria mean that from 2013 they now also accept applications from private individuals for physical work to heritage assets under their Our Heritage programme, which provides grants of more, than £10,000 and up to £100,000 for projects related to national, regional or local heritage in the UK. This includes piers.</p><p>English Heritage provides grant aid to designated assets in England, normally at grade I and II*, prioritising heritage at risk.</p>
