King’s Road Blues: Observer article.
The downward turn in trade since the roadworks began in the Kings Road, and which has continued for some traders since the roadworks ended, has been reported in The Hastings Observer.
From the Traders:
“Traders in King’s Road said their takings had fallen by as much as 60 per cent since contractors carried major pavement widening work”
From officials:
“The aim of the work was to create a busy thoroughfare from Warrior Square Station to the seafront by using high quality materials and creating attractive squares, such as at Pevensey Road, with public art at various locations.”
Read all about it, as they say.
Update: Please see Julian’s comment about being misquoted by the Observer.

Unfortunately the Observer has mis-quoted some traders. I stated that the road has lost approximately 60% of the original car parking spaces, not that my trade had dropped by 60%. As for the ‘high quality materials’ that were supposedly used, some of the flags are already cracking up.
