Respondent: Hastings Borough Council

HBC strongly supports Option 3. Focusing development purely at Bexhill (options 1 and 2) would not assist future Hastings development opportunities and does not adequately support the wider needs of the sub-region.

Option 3 will help to ensure Hastings and Bexhill share the value of being part of a wider community with more opportunities and a wider range of facilities and attractions. It reinforces the logic of the Regional Hub.

The two Councils are involved in a range of initiatives. To ignore this interdependence could fail to capitalise on an opportunity to strengthen the two Councils regionally.
