Please protect our treasured St Helens beach huts with Listed Structure status.

What the petition asks

8 October 2018 Isle of Wight County Press article "The Isle of Wight's historic railway carriage beach huts at centre of redevelopment discussions" http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/16967980.the-isle-of-wights-historic-railway-carriage-beach-huts-at-centre-of-redevelopment-discussions/
Save our beach!
The beach huts alongside St Helens beach are old railway carriages and part of our national heritage. They deserve to be preserved and conserved against the whims and fancies of developers. Why should we have to destroy our village life to suit the tastes of developers? These beach huts are part of the "setting" of St Helens Fort, a scheduled monument and Listed Building Grade II. As such this should be considered as part of the Historic Environment and be properly protected by the Government.
