The directors of one of Blackpool's famous piers - who have admitted health and safety offences linked to asbestos - must wait six months to find out their fate.

A court hearing was previously told how asbestos fibres from Blackpool's South Pier were allowed to float along the Promenade, as the pier’s owners cut corners on cost to remove a circus style roof above the main landward arcade.
