Demolition work to begin next week at fire-hit Hastings Pier
The BBC is reporting that demolition work is to begin at Hastings Pier to make it safer after a fire destroyed the structure.
Hastings Borough Council said it was using emergency powers to remove debris because the pier’s owner, Ravenclaw Investments, had taken no action.
The authority said it was also having to employ a security company to stop people walking under the pier which closed to the public in 2006.
The fire on 5 October destroyed 95% of the upper part of the attraction.
