Another Month in which to save Hastings Pier!

OK, an extension to the 30th of June 2018 has been given so that the Friends of Hastings Pier may put into reality their plans to keep Hastings Pier in community ownership, thus preventing another private owner from having another go at failing! Originally, the Administrators had allowed the fundraising of the Friends to continue until the end of May, and they are already less than £90,000 short of the £500,000 they were trying to raise through Crowdfunding, nice one!

For further details see my many blogs, for example this blog, or go to Crowdfunding and please join us in making donations, many thanks!



Less than a week to save Hastings Pier!

So, less than a week in which to support Friends of Hastings Pier, save Hastings Pier, yet again, incidentally, they helped save the Pier in the first place, but had no part in the running of the Pier for the last 2 years. They have come up with a Stage 2 Plan to ensure Hastings Pier remains in the ownership of the local community, but they still appear short of the necessary funds to get the Administrators to pass on ownership of the Pier, indeed, have recently tried to get the Foreshore Trust on board (see previous blog). Here is the Crowdfunding Link, if you would like to support their bid.

Indeed, with just 10 days to go, time is getting short, so, if you know someone who lives quite locally with plenty of money to share, Paul McCartney maybe, or a philanthropic businessman like Bill Gates, or even the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, or anyone who would like to support Hastings Pier being kept in community ownership, after all, private enterprise tried to have it burnt down, yet it was the community who resurrected the Pier, then please encourage them to come and support the Pier, maybe have a new pavilion named after them! Please get them to, or go yourself to Crowdfunding and make a pledge, all pledges would be very gratefully received, many thanks!



10 Days in which to save Hastings Pier... AGAIN!

I have written quite a few times now about Friends of Hastings Pier, who helped save the Pier in the first place, but had no part in the running of the Pier for the last 2 years, have now come up with a Stage 2 Plan to ensure Hastings Pier remains in the ownership of the local community, but they still appear short of the necessary funds to get the Administrators to ensure that happens (see previous blog, and blog, for example). Well, this is the Crowdfunding link, if you would like to support their bid.

Indeed, with just 10 days to go, time is getting short, so, if you know someone who lives quite locally with plenty of money to share, Paul McCartney maybe, or a philanthropic businessman like Bill Gates, or even the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, or anyone who would like to support Hastings Pier being kept in community ownership, after all, private enterprise tried to have it burnt down, it was the community who resurrected the Pier, then please encourage them to come and support the Pier, maybe have a new pavilion named after them! Please get them to, or go yourself, to Crowdfunding and make a pledge, all pledges would be very gratefully received, many thanks!
