Join the greenway rail corridor walk
Hastings Greenway Group’s campaign to make the greenway a reality takes a further step forward with a public walk on Saturday 18 February along the rail corridor stretch in the town centre. The group attracted an interested audience to its recent meeting, including two local councillors but no one representing East Sussex County Council. Nick Terdre reports.
The power of the Israeli lobby reaches Hastings

Nurdle hunt highlights plastic pollution
‘What on earth is a nurdle?’, you may be asking. Nurdles are small plastic pellets about the size of a lentil, which attract and concentrate background pollution like DDT and PCBs to highly toxic levels and can end up in the food chain when eaten by fish, birds and other marine animals. Nurdles never go away, but simply break down into ever smaller and smaller pieces of plastic. Hastings Green Party want to raise awareness of the issue. HOT’s Zelly Restorick writes.
A nuclear ban is coming
Next Tuesday, 7 February, they’ll be a local event on a theme of international importance when Hastings Against War host a talk and discussion on the theme of nuclear weapons. In March, the United Nations will begin negotiating a treaty to ban all nuclear weapons. This follows a UN vote last October calling for such negotiations to begin. (1) John Enefer writes.
