Eastbourne crossing remains out of action more than three years after hotel fire

The Claremont Hotel was destroyed by a fire in November 2019. More chunks of the Grade II listed building collapsed in the months that followed and as a result, the rest of the building was torn down and has remained as an empty space fenced off to residents ever since.

This means the crossing in front of the hotel is out of action but resident Robert Hamp, who lives in a flat overlooking the crossing, says people are ‘putting their lives at risk’ by still trying to cross.
