A summary of recent news.

Anti Social behaviour:

Pressure is being put upon street drinkers and others who cause problems. A greater police presence will be on the streets  on sporadic days to deal with any problems on top of day to day policing.

Part of the policy is to put pressure on sellers of drink not to sell to known street drinkers, and this is being fairly successful. However some of the more resourceful boozers are getting drink bought for them: if you see this please make a note of who is doing it and at least tell the shop owner, (they are breaking the law, which is a disincentive for them).

Over the next months there will be a concerted campaign to target  people with dogs off leads, who will be given on the spot fines, as well as those who let their dogs foul the pavements. Hastings Council are also running a high profile poster campaign, so you can down load a poster for your windows to help deter this horrible practice. (Dog poo is always a top item in the list of what people hate. It is usually only one or two idiot owners who let it happen. Let the idiots know, and pay for it.)

The Marina is opening up, and things are changing in one of the best buildings in the South East, (eat yer heart out De La Warr…), more news to follow. Lets help all we can on this one to put St lens on the map.

The shops at the bottom of London Road are being helped with new frontage clean ups which should help the visual impact of St Leonards as visitors enter from the seafront.
