THE JULY DEMONSTRATION TO REOPEN NEWHAVEN SANDY BEACH
I took these photos from Newhaven Fort
By Vicky Delaney
This was a well-organised demonstration where people of all ages joined in chanting "Save Our Beach", waving flags and posters and blowing horns. A passionate speech, which could be heard on top of the Fort, was made through a loud hailer and as a finale a large poster was left on the awful railings showing all the publicity which we have had on the media, with letters and lots of photographs taken through the years showing that generations of people have ALWAYS used the sandy beach and walked along the breakwater. The decision to open our beach and breakwater has to be made NOW!!! Why is it taking so long? Let's have an answer!!!
