A clear start-up date for the Queensway Gateway road remains unavailable after, according to East Sussex County Council (ESCC), Sea Change Sussex failed to keep ESCC fully updated over progress in the project, the accountability board of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership was told last week. Nick Terdre reports.
Hastings Borough Council (HBC) has refused – for no applicable reason – to publish objection statements on a planning application being decided on 20 July. The Council’s unevenhandedness is striking. Read it here instead: there have been unauthorised works in the redline area of a current application. What should be material considerations are treated with dogged disregard by the planning authorities, who are rewriting the past. The site is Rocklands. Bernard McGinley reports on unfeasible lines taken.

This Tuesday, 12 July, climate campaigners from across East Sussex, Brighton and Hove joined forces for a ‘big noise demo’ outside County Hall. Their purpose was to demand that East Sussex County Council (ESCC) stop investing in fossil fuels. The protest included a samba band and Extinction Rebellion Brighton’s 20-foot model boat ‘Lightship Greta’ which was pushed up the hill to County Hall from the centre of Lewes.

The Library of Things makes so much common sense. For example, if you need a power tool for a job, how brilliant that you could borrow one and not have to buy one which subsequently isn’t used till the next job comes up maybe in a few years’ time.
Musicians and artists join a day of community, creativity and hope on Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 June 2022 at Hastings Museum & Art Gallery.
