We’ve had a few gremlins in the works, so if you have recently signed up for the newsletter, it would be useful if you could sign up again, to make sure your email info got through, thanks!
Well Done!
Well done! A fabulous turn-out to the march on 17th October – great sunshine, great atmosphere, 2,000 people with yellow & black flags telling the council to stop dithering and start the Compulsory Purchase – take the pier from the private owners who have left it to rot and hand it over the community trust who can make it work.
We really made ourselves clear but this is just the beginning of the campaign…
Next step – we’re going to table an emergency motion to the next meeting of the Council so that they can agree to start the CPO and we can get on with applying for the money. We’ll need you all to come out and stand together again to make sure there’s no dilly-dallying! Watch this space for more info – or look on www.hpwrt.co.uk
IT’S YOUR CHOICE
4 million of local money to DEMOLISH
or 4 million of national grant money to REPAIR.
Our plans involve not just the Trust but the people of Hastings and White Rock working together towards a future pier we can all be proud of. The whole community is affected by the pier so please let’s all work together.
Saturday 17th October

Battle For Hastings Pier – March
We will all be meeting at the pier gates at 12pm, for a mustering .
We need a huge showing of support here please let everyone you know about the march, we need to tell the council how we feel about them ignoring this iconic building, it will only work if hundreds of you show up!
So let’s surprise them! and get Thousands!
You can have fun making some banners and plaques for the march? If enough of you take part in this I’ll offer a prize for the best.
We will then all proceed to the Town Hall, via the underground subway, to hand in a signed request for the council to start a compulsory purchase order on the pier. We are hoping a member of the council will take the request from us and say a few words.
Bring your passion, it will have media coverage.

The March
Great to see you all at the GIG sunday I hope you all enjoyed it.
Now its time to get serious lets save this pier.
EVERYONE whether you are 2 or 102 let’s all stand together for the pier, noon Saturday 17th October at the Pier Gates. Let’s show the council how much we all care. Between the people of Hastings and St Leonards, the Trust and Hastings Council I’m sure we can all get an agreement on what’s best for the pier’s future.
IT’S YOUR CHOICE
4 million to demolish or 4 million to REPAIR.
Turn up and have your say before it’s too late.
Lesley.
