Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We’re not sure what you want to happen.

Looking after sites of historical or cultural interest and ancient monuments in Hastings is usually the responsibility of the East Sussex County Archaeologist. You can find out more about the archaeology team here:
