A campaign was started
after lighthouse owner Trinity House announced that it could no
longer afford to repaint the distinctive red and white stripes and
that it would have to be left to return to its natural granite grey. Trinity
House stated that because boats now have high tech navigational
systems the day marker stripes are no longer essential.
The Campaign to help
save the distinctive red and white stripes on Beachy Head Lighthouse
was launched on Friday 14th October 2011. It is being run by the
Eastbourne Herald, AM Rotary Eastbourne and our Facebook Group.
Check on our News page for the current
total plus how and where to donate your pennies/pounds or look for details in the
Eastbourne Herald.
We will be working closely with Trinity House at all stages of the
Campaign.
We now have the quote
from Trinity House and we need to raise £27,000 so only £24,500 to
go!
