There is to be another ‘Bunker Protest Picnic’. The event will be on Sunday 28 June, from 1p.m – 4pm on the East Hill, just to the west of the Bunker. (The site is a short walk from the top of the East Hill funicular railway in Rock-a-Nore, Hastings Old Town.)
The Picnic will be a fun occasion – open to all – to let HBC know how much those present (and those unable to make it) care about the desecration of Hastings Country Park and the threats it remains subject to, such as unauthorised treefelling and severe administrative carelessness.
Back in March, the Planning Committee of Hastings Borough Council (HBC) refused another retrospective application. The Vice-Chair of the Committee, Cllr Michael Wincott, said at that meeting:
“As some of you know, I proposed refusing the retrospective application in June of last year, and I’m very very pleased this has been recommended for refusal. It’s long overdue. Take it down.” [Applause]
Subsequently, an Enforcement Order was issued, ordering the owners (Rocklands Caravan Park) to demolish the building.
Game over? No — anything but.
Detailed discussion of the case includes the Bahcheli Report for HBC, and itsAddendum. Responses included the Save Ecclesbourne Glen critique and theDetailed Comments. The Landslip was discussed in the Coffey Report and itsAppendices. The geotechnical experts have done a sequel — as yet unpublished.
The Country Park remains at risk of permanent blight. For more information on the event, contact Save Ecclesbourne Glen (SEG).
