The Hastings Town Deal Board is delighted to confirm that Hastings has been awarded £24.3m from the Government’s Towns Fund, totaling over £100m of investment.

12 students from Ark Academy took part in a workshop with Town Board project officers to support their A-level Geography studies.

Hastings’ Project Art Works, Partners for the Hastings Town Deal Town to Sea Creative Quarter has been nominated for The Turner Prize, one of the world’s most prestigious art prizes.

You may have seen that the government announced that some towns have had their Town Deal investment plan applications approved. This was announced in the budget earlier this week. Most of these towns submitted their applications last year.

When the Source Park opened its doors in 2016, 25% the building was left derelict and had been sealed off for over 60 years. Now the remaining areas of the Victorian White Rock Baths has been opened up.

Hastings is celebrating the submission of its Town Investment Plan to the government. If approved it will see £28.2m of Town Deal money and a further £85m of match funding for the town over the next six years.
