With the announcement of £200k regeneration funds for Hastings being given by the Government, Michael Foster brought John Denham, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to visit the Trust and take a walk around the pier so we could show him the planned work for Phase 1 of the renovations.
Accompanied by members of the local and national press, the group went on to visit the new Pier Information Centre and Shop at Arthur Greens and looking over some of the historic photographs of the pier through the ages.
