Led by you - backed by UK Government

Hastings is set to receive up to £20 million in extra funding over the next ten years through the UK Government’s Pride in Place programme

Hastings is a coastal town with a character shaped by more than a thousand years of history and a community known for its creativity, resilience, and strong local pride.

Its story so far is one of reinvention: a place where history and modern identity coexist, supported by a community that values collaboration, culture, and a strong sense of belonging.

In March 2026 the UK Government approved Hastings Neighbourhood Board’s ten-year regeneration plan, unlocking up to £20 million of additional investment for the town over the next ten years.

Developed with input from thousands of residents, our plan sets out a long term programme to improve Hastings’ streets, neighbourhoods, and public spaces

Through listening to our residents and investing in what matters to them, we will create visible, lasting change that reflects the spirit, creativity, and resilience of Hastings.

You told us you want cleaner, safer, and greener streets.

You told us you want revitalised, welcoming and inclusive community spaces - from parks and play areas to sports pitches and community centres.

You told us you want a thriving, creative, outward-looking Hastings with culture, heritage, and enterprise at its heart.

Over the next decade, we will build pride and confidence in our streets, our neighbourhoods, and our town.
