A MULTI-million pound bid to revamp Hastings’s historic castle has been kiboshed by the Lottery.......................
The HLF recognised the castle’s historic importance, but was unimpressed by the details of the plans - which the council has been working on for almost a decade.
Carole Souter, chief executive of HLF, told the Observer: “Hastings Castle is a much-loved and hugely significant local landmark and we applaud the council’s aspirations to renovate and open up the site.
“However, we had concerns about the viability of the project and due to the competitive nature of this round of funding were unable to support it.”................
