Peter Chowney, the leader of Hastings Borough Council......

.....was present at Saturday’s demonstration and reminded Mr Gulzar that Hastings Pier is a Grade II listed structure and ‘that he should work closely with council planning staff to make sure he put in all the right planning and listed building consent applications in advance, rather than retrospectively’.

 “I asked him to provide the council with a full list of the repairs that made it necessary to close the pier, so we could be reassured that none of the maintenance and repair issues could result in the pier becoming a dangerous structure.  I also said that he should reach out more to local people, and share his plans and ideas with them. “

 “Mr Gulzar has sated, to me and publicly, that he has ambitious plans for their pier, with proposals that include replacing the eastern pavilion,[?] installing a new building at the pier head[?], and a landing stage for boat trips[YES!] to his other pier in Eastbourne. All of these are potentially good [??[ ideas, and I look forward to seeing the plans for them.”
