Combe Valley Way is the new link road, it was well flooded earlier when I drove up it.
Hastings has improved massively over the past 20 years. Still a lot of unemployment and social problems unfortunately.

Can't make out the location. Is it the bulverhythe / glyne gap area? If so, good location for HUFC to include Rother in its catchment area & West st Leonards nearest station.

If that's the case, will the tip have to move somewhere else.
Won't be very good next door to a new footy stadium?

Is that for recconiscance for Op Retirement?
Ha, from my limited experience this year, Bexhill does appear to be superior even to Worthing and Eastbourne in terms of volume of pensioners
Genuinely hope they can get this kind of project through, for what it's worth. Would be good to see the area get some decent development.

To be honest, I am not totally certain. The tip is well back from the road, and I understand from the newspaper article that it will replace the playing fields between the road and the tip. But agreed -not the most romantic location in that respect. As with Brighton, as we know only too well, finding suitable areas is not the easiest.

Hastings needs it, very much so, it's quite sad to see some parts in decline, whenever we go down to visit family.

Ah, thanks. When I said Rother catchment area I meant more Bexhill tbh. A train station was touted but dismissed for glyne gap not so long ago, wonder if this will re-ignite the debate?

Yes, this may be the case -it all depends on how many folk will use the facility, I suppose. Hastings United tend to have about 300-440 fans for fortnightly matches, though all-weather pitches such as they have at present at Horntye, will keep the punters coming every day.

I want to see more multi sports facilities in Sussex it will be great to see Sussex CCC playing in Hastings and it would great if they include a decent running track. If they get the transport infrastructure sorted in East Sussex compinies would relocate to the area I can see it becoming an upcoming area to live and play.
We need HS4 London to Hastings
HS5 Uckfield to Lewes

No chance of any facilities in mid sussex tbh! The council is full of buffons!
Blimey - those pictures take me back to my mis-spent youth, especially this one....
I used to frequent the cafe/club upstairs near the entrance to the cricket ground (always full of swedish and french girls in the summer) and the record shop over the road - can't remember the name of either though.

Was the club above the pub, The Town Crier as it would have been in the photo? It's called MODA now and has a club above it now.
The record shop would have been Our Price, surely?
