Found this slightly amusing about Hastings

 

[Mr Putdown]

Crawley.
a local pub that also serves up some of the best Indian food in Sussex

Tell me more about this local pub, I’m intrigued which one?

I’m back up there for couple of days shortly at a trade show.

 

[Mr Putdown]

Newhaven. Zero risk of snow, ever.

I’m guessing the Greyhound or the Parsons pig (both within 5 mins of each other)

 

[Swansman]

Horsham.

Crawley. A lot more central. Hastings has its merits, but it's a bit 'out the way' for me.

This.

A resident of Hastings collected an eBay purchase from us last week, he said he dreads the drive to Brighton as it can take up to 2 hours. Awful all the way to Beddingham.

I’d hate being that distant from Brighton, plus easy access to London is a must for us.

Town centre needs razing to the ground and starting again IMHO - crap place in a great location. I rarely venture into town, live on the outskirts. H Heath is no better.

Are there any serious plans to redo the town centre?

With the population growing exponentially (NE side just now), I would’ve thought something would happen. Crawley town centre was completely transformed between say 1985 and now.

As someone said back in 2005

I like Hastings, it's got a bit of character. Reminds me of Brighton a few years back when it was a bit run down, before it got overrun by DFLs.

And despite the DFLs highlighted in your post, I still have a soft spot for Hastings

And there's still a few very good Musos knocking round Hastings

 

[SteveU]

Bit like Helmand Province or Islamabad

I’m not sure I’d describe Gerry Rafferty as rocking round Hastings these days.

See if you can spot the constant through that video and these





They're still knocking round Hastings, a little older, but still very healthy and very talented

Hastings will be always close to moi, as my family all come from there.
It's always been an enigma, but still does have its gems.
This London thing is strange TBH, as I know that in a new housing estate built in Sidley, has had a lot of Londoners move there, through the Notting Hill housing association for example.
Some don't like it down south and have moved back to the big smoke.
Life is too slow basically

 

[Questions]

Where's the option for "I'd rather stick pins in my eyes" ?

I’d rather go blind by Eta James who was also from Hastings.

 

[dstanman]

Neither appeal to me, but If I had to pick out of the two, would have to be Crawley as easier to get to the Amex and away games.

 

[Live by the sea]

CRAWLEY OR HASTINGS?

Neither both are dumps .

 

[Live by the sea]

Cuckfield / Alfriston if you like village living or central Hove .

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Lived in both areas. Don’t miss the remoteness and winters of east east Sussex coastal living.

Think I can opt out of voting as I live in Newhaven

Given up trying to make sense of the ‘redevelopment‘ plans. No idea if they’ll ever happen
