The Trusts consultation is getting a needed boost from the press

24th March 2014
THE TRUSTS CONSULTATION IS GETTING A MUCH NEEDED BOOST FROM THE PRESS.

The Trust has been holding a Consultation this year to remove Speckled Wood from the Hastings Borough Council Development Plan has gained a much needed boost. The Trust has been contacted by news agencies in reference to its campaign. The first of these public requests for the community to get involved will start tomorrow.

The Trust was aware that Rightmove, an online estate agent, had the area in Victoria Avenue for sale recently . It appears this has been withdrawn . The land was up for sale for £850,000.

The Trust also desperately needs a benefactor who will help with financing a purchase of the Woodland . The Trust has already spoken to Hastings Voluntary Association who have been asked to help manage a community purse, should funds become available for a prospective purchase. A spokesperson for the Trust said that there had been in excess of forty-nine years of planning on Speckled Wood all of which have failed to occur. This planning has been lucrative for some but has effectively left the area neglected and only maintained by local groups.

The Current campaign runs until April 22nd 2014 details are shown below:

"This vote is is one of the most important so far . The Trust is excited at the prospect that the Press will help out and spread the news of this Consultation."
