The Read Your Way initiative, which wants to get more children reading in Hastings and St Leonards, continues to thrive despite the lockdown restrictions; a great example of the amazing community spirit in Hastings. HOT’s Vanessa Alves reports.
While local Tories call for restrictions to be relaxed, and toilets and tennis courts to be reopened, the Labour-dominated council says such facilities will stay shut for the time being and urge visitors to stay away. On 1 June the government is partially easing the lockdown. Nick Terdre reports.
How is Hastings’ business sector doing during the coronavirus emergency? Are companies managing to access the support offered by the government? Is it enough to guarantee their survival in what is shaping up to be the worst recession in the last 300 years? Nick Terdre spoke to Sean Dennis, director of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and chief executive officer of Let’s Do Business Group.
Andrew Colquhoun, vice-chair of the Friends of Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve, has been taking advantage of lockdown days to enjoy the park in all its springtime glory. He also took the photos.
Well, that is technically two weeks of home-schooling done. It has been strange, wonderful and stressful for everyone involved, writes Vanessa Alves.
