THE LATEST NEWS ON THE NATURE OF THE EVENT ON THE EVENING OF FRIDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2012
For my money, the most informative and interesting Google Search about Hastings Pier Fire and it's aftermath is:
What I did that led to Hastings Pier Fire. Not only is this blog -and it's videos well-represented- but you also get a
David Icke Forum on the topic
Tony May here recommends that you come to the events on 5th October 2012 at the

********
THE EARLIER PLAN (April/May 2012) was as follows; this format is now more likely to be applied in a future event at the Stables Theatre -2013/2014?
This play will be reviewing some of the biggest stories in Hastings & St Leonards over the last two years and holding some of the key players to account.
In relation to each of these three major local changes, the same question will be put:
FROM THIS CHANGE, WHAT HAVE WE, AS A COMMUNITY, LEARNED ABOUT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT EG WHO HOLDS THE POWER/REAPS THE BENEFITS/IGNORES THE WISHES OF OTHERS AND HOW WE EMPOWER ALL MORE FULLY IN SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR LOCALITY:
- Hastings Pier Fire (5th October 2010); arguably the start/ missed opportunity to start the regeneration of the local community by engaging appropriately with those known to have been on the pier that night. (For background and full reports, exploring a range of mediation approaches etc http://sussexcommunity.blogspot.com)
- The Jerwood Gallery -opened March 2012
- The St Leonards TownTeam (Community Planning) developments of 2012, with Hastings Borough Council backing and involving Gensing & Central St Leonards (Forum) in particular
“The Walking Buddhas of SE England → Love Statues of St Leonards” is play by “Paul Crosland, the famous playwright” (Google it) being performed on the second anniversary of the Hastings Pier Fire (for which two St Leonards residents were arrested but neither were they prosecuted or their names revealed through official channels).
The play being performed first on 5th October 2012 (with additional dates planned) can still be shaped by you and by any films you record for YouTube Channel Toothpaste007, or comments that you make there: (http://www.youtube.com/Toothpaste007 )
The play will include 8 minute live conversations with key individuals about a selection of the following 8 themes, culminating in an interview with Jeremy Birch, Leader of Hastings Borough Council (or his substitute) about the values being upheld in the development/regeneration of our town(s).
Local community (re)generation themes:
1) The ongoing loss of justice in relation to those known to have been on the pier on the night of the fire & the consequences of not resolving this to the satisfaction of the community?
2) What difference the Jerwood Gallery is making, or will -in time- make to Hastings, and whether there is harm to be addressed here too?
3) What "St Leonards Love Statues" could do for "St Leonards" in the way that Anthony Gormley statues eg "The Angel of the North" have done for their local areas?
4) How to stop developments squeezing out much that we value here?
5) How we can best address social exclusion and the roots of social unrest?
6) “Sustainable Local Futures” - in the new world economic order, undertaking the transition to a local economy that is more independent of world shocks?
7) “The amazing wealth of original, talented young people ,numerous local, high profile events and projects” promoted by The Respond Academy, amongst others?
8) "Ethical Outings in Hastings & St Leonards" (in relation to Arson etc) & what role we play across all generations in "character building" and taking responsibility, rather than letting things get worse.
Either we take responsibility for our communities and the things that upset us or things will get worse; there's simply no other choice?
