Hastings Pier closed for good? [16/7/06]
Following the collapse of some of the pier's supports, Hastings Borough Council has closed Hastings Pier on the grounds of public safety. All the Pier's shops, which are leased to separate tenants, have been closed. The Pier's owners, Ravensclaw Investments Inc, will have to foot the bill for the repairs. The pier was bought by the current owners in 2002, and has since been refurbished and marketed the 'Covent Garden by the Sea'.

Fire on piers etc is a long list now.
Southend, Weston super mud, Brighton? and various others
(also Dunston Staithes have had this same problem)
At least the owner(s) of Weston S Mare have rebuilt their pier....
so there is hope for Hastings.
IIRC the two suspects are both under 21! even if *they* get as far as conviction, what is the chance if a suitable punishment......(gets off the soapbox!)
