“…..Mr Osborne was asked the question that has been on most people’s lips in Hastings in recent weeks: “Why did the Chancellor and Prime Minister David Cameron visit Eastbourne just days after its devastating pier fire and pledge £2 million in support when Hastings got nothing just days after the blaze on its pier in October 2010?”
In response, he said: “Hastings Pier had been closed since 2006 but it’s opening again next year, which is great news. Hastings has had almost £2 million from the Coastal Communities Fund. I am speaking with MP Amber Rudd and local businesses to see if there is more things we can do to support tourism and specific projects and if there is I am really happy to look at them.

“I want both towns to do well. It’s not about choosing between Eastbourne and Hastings.”
