The strange case of the disappearing affordable housing
For the greenfield site known as ‘Land adjacent to 777 The Ridge’, affordable housing (AH) commitments went from 30% of what was to be built, to 40%, to zero. How did this happen? The ‘agreed’ arrangements reported at the Hastings Borough Council (HBC) planning committee meeting in April 2021 were not formally signed up to — and later reneged on. A related case is due to be decided on 22 March 2023 with insufficient information. Bernard McGinley looks closer at an odd business, intricate but important.

Happy Birthday Jack!
Readers may be aware that this May bank holiday will be the 40th anniversary of Hastings Jack in the Green. The original Jack in the Green tradition fizzled out in Hastings in the late 1800s and was revived by local folk enthusiasts in 1983 – a blend of traditions old and new, colourful characters and an explosion of foliage. Lorna Crabbe invites you to get involved with Jack’s 40th birthday festivities.
George Greaves: a man of his word
Very sadly, George Greaves died on 10 January, a few weeks short of his 101st birthday. True to his life-long commitment to the Hastings fishing community, his order of service said that donations in George’s memory should be made to the Hastings Fishermen’s Protection Society. This article by John Cole is being re-published as a tribute to someone who has photographed and supported our fishing community for so many years.
