I am very grateful for the following response from FLAG, which says pretty much what I said in Part 2 of the Winch Road saga, though it puts a bit more meat on the bones!
"The Hastings FLAG (Fisheries Local Action Group) was successful in obtaining grant funding towards the upgrade of the Winch Road and improvements to lighting along part of it. This is a key component of the Hastings Fishing Beach Improvement Programme that seeks to improve the working environment for the inshore fishing fleet and encourage responsible visitors.
The Winch Road will be resurfaced in reinforced concrete with an exposed aggregate finish. The project will also improve lighting and security along the eastern section of the Winch Road and is jointly funded by Hastings & St Leonards Foreshore Charitable Trust and the Marine Management Organisation. A compound has been set up on the beach adjacent to the RNLI station and work started on Monday 18th May and will last for approximately 11 weeks until the week commencing 20th July (weather dependent).
Paul Joy and indeed the fishermen are all fully aware of the planned works and have been closely involved in securing the funding and planning the works."
There you go then, one shouldn't believe gossip...
