More about the Plan for Neighbourhoods

Hastings has been selected by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to receive up to £20m of funding to support regeneration Plan for Neighbourhoods in the town. The funding will support the delivery of investment and improvement in community services, such as regeneration, education, health and employment. 

The Plan for Neighbourhoods was announced by the government in March this year and delivers on the commitments made to Hastings from the previous government’s Long-Term Plan for Towns, which the MHCLG confirmed would be retained at the 2024 Autumn Budget.

Membership of the Hastings Board is still being finalised and the last board meeting was held in April 2025.  You can read more about the interim board here.

The minutes and details of board meetings are available to read online. 

Updates will be posted on this page, as well as on council social media channels including Facebook and Instagram. 

The Government guidance on the programme and investment themes has now been published:
