Map showing location of works areas
As you may be aware, the Hastings Public Realm and Green Connections project is one of several within the Hastings Town Improvements Plan currently in progress by East Sussex County Council and Hastings Borough Council.
The project aims to:
- Develop safe, inclusive public spaces, whilst promoting sustainable travel,
- Encourage better use of public spaces with more seating and space for public art,
- Promote biodiversity to contribute to health and wellbeing of the public and to protect against a change in climate.
In preparation for the Hastings Town Improvements, Balfour Beatty are working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to carry out drainage surveys and underground utility surveys to support the development of the design.
These works will involve CCTV surveys of the drainage system and a jetting unit will attend to clear gullies. The surveys for underground utilities will involve a scan of the highway surface to identify buried apparatus and the depths that they are located.
When do they start?
Work will begin on Monday 22 April and are anticipated to complete on Monday 6 May.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.

Information for residents and businesses
Parking: We will put out ‘no parking’ signs and cones on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works.
Access for residents: Access for residents not be affected by our works but there maybe some delays if the works are across entranceways.
Weather: All of these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the works.
Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
