Understanding the place and space we live in
Bringing together practitioners, residents and academics to look at how we can better understand the place and space we live in. Considering projects such as Hastings Greenway and the America Ground, the forum will look at the idea of place-making and explore how we can reshape spaces, creating a connection between people and the place they share.
This is a free event and all are welcome, refreshments will be provided.

Hello Rod,
Please Google Transition Town Hastings – and their website will appear.
I will send your details to someone on the TTH team too – and ask them to connect with you.
Warm wishes,
Zelly

I’m involved with a group in Worthing regarding disinvestment from fossil fuel. I would be grateful if you could put me in touch with a like minded group in Hastings
Thanks

There has long been a lot of talk about what could be done or should be done to improve Hastings. The great thing about TTH is that they are actually doing something positive and very worthwhile.
