A blast from the past!

Until January 2022 the website at ‘saveprincesparade.org’ was the backbone of the campaign to save the land between the Royal Military Canal and the sea from a development that would have put 150 homes there and seen the road along the seafront moved to pass alongside the historic Royal Military Canal. 

It was the moving of the road scheme (the “Stopping Up of Princes Parade”) which led to a Public Enquiry in autumn 2021. ‘Save Princes Parade’ represented the opposition to the Stopping Up Order and when that battle was lost the Council applied for a cost order against individual members of the group. This had the effect of curtailing any more of the group’s activities – including the continuation of the website. 

A lot has changed since then!

We now have a different administration in charge and Priince Parade has been saved. Now there are different challenges to meet… including how to keep it safe.

The website at ‘saveprincesparade.org’ was taken down very suddenly and a large number of valuable resources were lost from view.

Now, for a limited time, it’s back, though with a slightly different domain name – “saveprincesparade.co.uk” – as the old one with the “.org” is currently unavailable. It is not intended that the site will continue to be updated – it’s there for now as a record of the struggle and a resource for the wealth of information within.

Be aware that there will some issues with functionality due to the change of domain name and some external links no longer go anywhere but there are many documents relating to the campaign which can be downloaded – and stories and images demonstrating why Princes Parade is worth saving.

Let’s keep Princes Parade safe!
