Matt Thomas… How clean it looks
Tony Court-holmes… when the old town was the old town and not london by the sea
Rob Tickner… Not a pothole in sight!
Patrick Lewis… Not trying to be political but if the 1980’s were when street cleanliness etc declined it might have a lot to do with the Thatcher government. Local Authority funding from central government was reduced and there was pressure on LA’s to tighten their spending and limit rate rises. Hence LA’s had less money to spend on public services, irrespective of the political colour of the council.
Graham Sherrington… before me mum passed away she used to talk about clean Hastings, then the 1980’s arrived and she would say how the local council lost interest in sweeping the streets cleaning the gutters etc, bless her she was right, I came home to see her for the last time in 2018 she passed in 2019 at 99. Hastings was a shyte hole I did not see any rubbish bins in the town, crap was everywhere, dog pooh all over the pavements and on the prom. Shameful.
John Evo Ballard… East Sussex Highways look this is how roads should be!
