The fifth petition is from Councillor Jon Freeman and others of like disposition. It is concerned with the future of the Drill hall on Broad street in Seaford. The building is owned by the Ministry of Defence and it has been sitting empty for some considerable time in a dilapidated state in what is an important town centre location.

The petition states:

Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House shall urge the Ministry of Defence to clarify its position with regard to the future of the Seaford Drill Hall and to consider selling the building for local community use.

And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

To lie upon the Table.
