Tidy Up St Leonards is a voluntary local action team organised by John Funnell, Richard Wesley and others who feel passionately about the state of their local streets.

The Transition Town Hastings team have been busy again this year at their community garden at St Leonards Warrior Square Station.

Alison Cooper, one of the TTH team members, sent HOT some photos.
