Hastings hopes to be South East’s first Garden Town
As one of the most under-served communities in the South East, Hastings is no stranger to promises of transformative funding from central government. But campaigners hope the community involvement and strong green element mean the new Hastings Town Deal will be different. This blog by Thalia Griffiths looks at their plans.

Green Room @ The Common Room
We have the ‘Green Room’ until the end of March and wanted to remind you that you’re welcome to drop in any Thursday (open 12-4pm) to use the space for climate-change action and activities.
Book the space in the evenings for free (normally £15/ hour) on any Thursday. The Green Room is a great place to…- host workshops and meetings
- learn more about some of the green movers-and-shakers in town – just check out the noticeboard
- have a chat with like-minded fellow “Commoners” who drop by and hang out there
- get free energy advice from Energise Sussex Coast(weekly drop-ins from 1-4pm)
- eat, drink and be merry at our monthly zero-waste “Food for Thought” potluck suppers (7-9pm on the fourth Thursday of the month. Next one is 24 March).
It’s proving a great place to make connections, have conversations and do stuff, so if you are new in town and would like to meet fellow locals, just drop in for a cuppa and see what happens!
Volunteer ‘revolving’ chairpersons neededWe won’t be holding an official Transition Town Hastings meeting this March as we’re all feeling the need for a pause. We will reconvene monthly TTH meetings in April and Anna Locke has made a great suggestion, championing the idea of ‘revolving’ chairpersons, in the absence of an elected one. The idea is to have 4 people make a quarterly commitment for only 3 months. Want to be part of our new quartet of chairs? Drop us a line at info@transitiontownhastings.org.uk Green Drinks will also resume in April… til then, all things climate-related continue in the Green Room. Hope to see you there before long!
