The recent consultation on the future development of the Old Bathing Pool site in West St Leonards was a disappointment to many. At the Hastings Borough Council (HBC) Cabinet meeting of 9 June, a large contingent were present to ask the Council to consider more fully the expressed wishes of over 3,000 Borough residents, and the interests of the Borough. (See the Q&A session at minutes 7:00 to 33:00 of the HBC meeting.) Now a ‘Protestival’ has been organised for Sunday 13 July to celebrate the site and debate its future while there’s still time. Bernard McGinley reports on a longrunning message.
