After a town Council meeting in Newhaven on February 5th, we now have the unanimous support of both Seaford and Newhaven Town Councils for this proposal, along with many others.
The Initial Scoping Study has been completed by Mike Leece OBE and we are now looking to various bodies for the funding for the Feasibility Study. A decision on this is likely in the very near future. In the meantime we are continuing to raise the profile of the project on our website and on banners and posters around towns (If you wish to show support please do email in for a poster for your window.)
HOW YOU CAN HELP US?
The three ships available that we are looking at are
HMS Newcastle
HMS Glasgow
HMS Cardiff
All of the above are Type 42 Destroyers that have been decommissioned and are awaiting their fate in Portsmouth.
If any locals have any connections with any of these vessels, we would be very keen to hear from you via our website www.sinkone4seaford.co.uk and please leave a comment here too. Maybe you or someone you know has served on one of these ships, or maybe you just know some history about them. We would love to hear from you.
We are also keen to hear from marine conservationists/biologists, university students in marine studies and anyone with an interest in the marine environment, i.e. divers, archaeologists, fisherman, anglers, sailors and water sports enthusiasts.
If you feel you can help us in any way, have any information you feel could be useful or just want to offer your support for the project, please contact through www.sinkone4seaford.co.uk

Pete and Trish Butler of Esplanade Mews would like to offer their suport for this project. Having been connected with Seaford beach for over 50 years we can only think that sinking the vessels would offer better facilities for beach users and divers.
