A derelict seafront ice rink is to be sold off.

The White Rock Ice Rink has stood empty on Hastings seafront for more than three years but now the borough council is looking for outside help to bring it back into use.

The building originally housed an indoor swimming pool until it was converted into an ice rink.

It is currently boarded up and has become a target for vandals.

Several parties are believed to have already expressed an interest in the site.

The rink was a popular attraction for 18 years but it closed in 1997.

Its owner at the time, the late Colin Bosley, had to give up the business because of ill-health.

The council hopes to start negotiations with potential buyers in the coming weeks.
