@RaineMccormack Freaky! Poses some interesting philosophical questions 💭

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

👏As Public Realm Advisor to the Eastbourne Society and a campaigner to save this building with @C20Society we are so pleased to have reached this new design revision. In continuing to work with #Capreon we are hopeful of the right result for Eastbourne. @BBCSussex @bbcsoutheast

NEWS // Delighted to reveal that a key department store at risk - Eastbourne’s former TJ Hughes - looks to be saved from demolition. New plans would see the façade restored, ground floor kept for commercial use and 65 apartments accommodated in the upper floors… #C20Campaigns

@spinstorm @LightningFibre Fast internet and infrastructure that is fitting in a Conservation Area are not mutually exclusive.

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

@LightningFibre Thank you for replying. Whilst this is an entirely inappropriate location and I would ideally like to see it moved, I have some ideas to reduce its impact and will certainly give you a call to see what can be done.

@MalcolmBacchus @civic_voice @Graham_Galpin @createstreets @WakefieldCivicS @EpsomCivicSoc @LeedsCivicTrust @CheltCivicSoc @AllAmericaCity @profcathyparker @HistPlacesRob Appreciate that. It is hard work and paving is heavy stuff! Also appreciate about younger people getting involved - also an issue here in Eastbourne. Keep complaining and campaigning though - it is worth it

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

@SteveMcfirerisk @SAVEBrit @C20Society @createstreets @TanyaSzendeffy @RobertKwolek @SPAB1877 @Eastbournenews @OliMarshall85 @ihbc_southeast @BBCSussex @LostHeritage @ClareFoges Totally agree. Conversation with developer is good so let’s see what new proposals are post-Easter.

Eastbourne's TJ Hughes closed in 2019 and was slated for demolition. We think it's too good to lose and could have a bright future. Thanks @BBCSussex for having us on the breakfast show to talk about our new report, Departing Stores https://t.co/ssbmoWZYow

@MalcolmBacchus @civic_voice @Graham_Galpin @createstreets @WakefieldCivicS @EpsomCivicSoc @LeedsCivicTrust @CheltCivicSoc @AllAmericaCity @profcathyparker @HistPlacesRob That’s hugely frustrating but keep going. Even if it means reseating the pavers yourself when you see the white marks go down - not unknown here in Eastbourne!

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

@hiltonholloway @createstreets 🤬 Kick up a stink with the council - that is appalling.

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

@LightningFibre This cabinet is an absolute disgrace. It is huge, unsightly and right outside a beautiful heritage garden wall. Fitting of it has created a huge scar in the paving and this is all in the College Conservation Area-where is your consideration of that?

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

@CheltCivicSoc @MalcolmBacchus @civic_voice @Graham_Galpin @createstreets @WakefieldCivicS @EpsomCivicSoc @LeedsCivicTrust @AllAmericaCity @profcathyparker @HistPlacesRob Thanks. I won’t stop! It’s an endless task isn’t it but you’ve got to keep on it - we’ll done for fighting the tarmac creep in Cheltenham too 💪!

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

@MalcolmBacchus @civic_voice @Graham_Galpin @createstreets @WakefieldCivicS @EpsomCivicSoc @LeedsCivicTrust @CheltCivicSoc @AllAmericaCity @profcathyparker @HistPlacesRob Keep complaining! 💪 As rep of my civic society I’ve got dialogue now with the local CCHighways dept - I keep being told there’s no money but I’ve had some success too - I managed to get this black tarmac drop kerb reversed and the bricks returned:

[Justine Dowsing @DowsingJustine]

@createstreets Yes indeed @createstreets - this is just the tip of the iceberg - it’s a daily task in Eastbourne to try and spot the telltale white spray paint and try and stop the inevitable tarmac porridge ‘repair’ - 😭
