HOT’s Sean O’Shea consulted with some local Labour Party members, who are also HOT readers, regarding the coming Labour Party Leadership Election. He agreed to prepare some questions based on this discussion and forward them to the Labour Party Leadership candidates. Any replies received will be published in the HOT Topics, Politics Section. Here are some notes on some of the issues raised.
HOT’s Sean O’ Shea talks to local activist and anti-war campaigner, Chris Coverdale, about his background, the people who have inspired him, the laws of war, the reasons why so few people are charged for war crimes and his prison experience.
On the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, local historian Heather Grief has published a handy booklet providing an interesting account of the battle and its background and suggesting a variety of ways it could be celebrated. Nick Terdre took a read.
Ahead of the second Hastings Fringe 2016, artistic director Heather Alexander talks to Miranda Gavin about setting up the performance arts festival, billed this year as “bigger and bolder”, what’s on and its plans for the future.
Hastings has been awarded a second European Union grant to help improve housing conditions in the town, this time in St Leonards. The first project, Climate Active Neighbourhood, was approved earlier this year for the Ore Valley area.
Where reading begins, learning never ends: a new local charity is to launch in September providing free books to pre-school children. The charity, Imagine Nation, will bring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea, as it explains.
