We want to know........

"Why have the Heritage Lottery Fund sold Hastings Pier?" 
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/why-have-the-heritage-lottery-fund-sold-hastings-pier

An award winning pier rebuilt with £12m of public money is flogged off to a private owner for peanuts


FOHP responded to the sale:
This decision was made despite our final bid being better in every way – a higher purchase price, a co-investing partnership between the community and an experienced and committed commercial operator, clear and transparent plans for immediate, transition and long term redevelopment, and an absolute commitment to good maintenance forever. We are devastated but we are also furious. Why would the administrators mess us about leading us to believe we have time and the chance to buy the pier if we haven’t? Everyone is very upset. We now have a lot of questions about how this was handled.
