Foreshore Trust continues not to do its job
Since 1893 the Foreshore Trust (FT) has existed continuously, to protect the Foreshore from Rock-a-Nore to Glyne Gap. So why doesn’t it? Why is it passive and supine and secretive? Why does the Council abet this gormlessness? Before the FT’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday 14 March, Bernard McGinley revisits an issue that keeps being ignored.
Foreshore inaction fails to impress, again
The Foreshore Trust (FT) said it would defend the Stade footpath near the boating lake at the Stade Amusement Park. When (following appeals) the footpath was taken over, it did nothing significant. Reportedly the footpath is to be reopened eventually, but when, and for what hours? The Hastings Borough Council (HBC) Charity Committee did not explain. Bernard McGinley wonders what the FT is for.
Rollercoaster induces nausea over the Stade Amusement Park
The rollercoaster that has arisen by the Boating Lake on the Old Town seafront does not have planning permission, or an application, and wasn’t even notified to Hastings Borough Council (HBC) or the Foreshore Trust (FT). Do Permitted Development Rights (PDR) apply? What about the issues of the perimeter fence and the footpath, so controversial a few years ago? Will the Council or the FT take action? Bernard McGinley looks at another fine mess, and also took the photos.
