Hastings is one of 75 towns to be awarded £20m in funding as part of the Labour Government's Plan for Neighbourhoods. This Labour Government has rightly said that the money should be spend on the priorities of local people, whether that is broken pavements, broken bus shelters, trying to open up important community venues like St Mary in the Castle, or something else.

 

We have seen previous  funding schemes sometimes go wrong, such as the money sadly wasted on the short-lived 'family fun factory' Owen's. ​So this time, I want local people and local businesses to tell us how they think that money could be spent to improve our town.
