Eastbourne MP meets with property developer to discuss future plans for building in town
Eastbourne MP Josh Babarinde has met with a property developer to discuss the future plans of the TJ Hughes building.
Recently the scaffolding came down of the former TJ Hughes building on Terminus Road and is now under the ownership of Danworth Holdings. Mr Babarinde met with Damian from the company to discuss the future of the old building.
In a statement the MP said: “Many residents will have noticed the scaffolding coming down from the TJ Hughes building, following its recent facelift.
“I was grateful to meet with Damian from Danworth Holdings, who have taken over the building, to hear more about their plans.
“The building has stood derelict for seven years, so it is encouraging to see it being brought back to life, with plans for retail space on the ground floor and 48 flats above.
“This is exactly the sort of progress we want to see happening across more of our town – bringing empty buildings back into use, creating new homes and breathing life back into our high street.”
