PICTURES: Hastings Pier reopens to the public
The pier, which was purchased by Mr Gulzar on Friday, June 15, had been closed for ten days.
Addressing the town ahead of the official reopening, Mr Gulzar said: "Let’s talk up Hastings and talk up Hastings Pier.
“I don’t want to hear all the moaning and negativity.
“I don’t have time for that.

Mr Gulzar also said he was keen to meet with council leader Peter Chowney once he returns from his holiday and plans to invest in the pier in the coming months.
He added: “But it must be done sensibly, with thought, and for the good of the pier and the town. “And of course I will engage with the people of Hastings.”
