Showcasing the People’s Pier

Amber Rudd MP welcomed the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Sajid Javid, to Hastings on Thursday to showcase the people’s pier and the progress that has been made with its reconstruction.

Joined by Chief Executive of Hastings Pier & White Rock Trust Simon Opie and others, they were able to see for themselves the great deal of work that has been completed to date. With new beams, girders and a shiny new zinc roof for the restaurant, real progress is being made to ensure that Hastings once again has a Pier it can be proud of.

Amber and Sajid also visited the Hub where they were able to find out more about the pier, its history, the restoration work and future plans.  Also currently on display at the Pier Hub is a glass, ceramic and print exhibition with work from students at Sussex Coast College.
