Well, Hastings Borough Council appears to be trying to help make walking along the seafront a pleasant experience, however, much of the Lower Promenade still allows drinking, so, OK at prominent points, no rowdy music and tins of extra strong lagers and cider, but still paces where the alcohol remains 'King!'
Oh yes, and why isn't there a cycle path between Warrior Square and the end of Robertson Street on the Upper Promenade anymore, it becomes quite anarchic on a sunny day, and will be even more so when the summer arrives?!? And why are people allowed to ride cycles along the Lower Promenade and through Bottle Alley, isn't one cycle path/shared pedestrian area and the road enough for cyclists?!? With the covering up of the 'No Cycling' message near the Pier, there's nothing preventing cyclists, or as a good friend of mine who is a cyclist says, "people riding bikes" making even the Lower Promenade and Bottle Alley unsafe and not a pleasure to promenade along!
