Ask Me Another
The Hastings Borough Council cabinet debate over the issue of sleeping in vehicles arose from the need to renew the council’s current Anti-Social Behaviour Public Space Protection Order (PSPO), which was set for three years in 2022 and expires in July. Online consultation with residents on other proposed changes to the terms of the PSPO is going ahead, open until 2 May.
The council is suggesting that public areas where drinking of alcohol is banned, which currently encompass a length of the seafront, the area around Warrior Square and the Town Centre, should be extended to include Falaise Gardens and the bowling green at White Rock, Linton Gardens, and the area around Wallinger’s Walk below Hastings Castle.
Similar online consultation is being promoted on the council’s website regarding a proposal to install CCTV cameras along Bottle Alley.
Residents are also being asked to give their opinions on housing in Hastings as the council aims to create a new Housing Strategy. Its survey asks five questions which can be responded to anonymously, starting with: “Tell us about your experiences with having a decent place to live in Hastings.” The closing date is 30 May.
