Stop the sale of Beachy Head farms
To keep the four farms on Beachy Head in the hands of Eastbourne Borough Council.
Why is this important?
Beachy Head is not theirs to sell, it is part of our National Heritage and should not be sold off. Selling it into private hands puts us all in danger of loosing something that belongs to the whole nation. They talk about giving the farmers security, when they are taking away the security of people who live in council accommodation, backing businesses that keep people on minimum wage on zero hour contracts,so that they don't even know what they will be earning each week.It,s just another short term fix, like selling the woods and forests to raise money to plug the gaps that they have created themselves. Even if I cant walk on this land I want the possibility to be there for my children and grandchildren, if it is sold it; gone forever.
