Bank Holiday Weekend Begins Quietly...

This was before 06.00 this morning, obviously quiet, but have a look around the floor and bins and there is very little rubbish, within and without the bins! Apparently, Saturday was a pretty quiet day, and the weather wasn't too warm and a bit windy, with few 'tourists' visiting Hastings, and, although I wasn't out later in the day yesterday, this checks out with locally housed and working people I have spoken to today.

However, I did notice that by 09.00 cars and motorbikes were arriving at the Pelham Beach car park opposite St Mary in the Castle...

Be safe people, and save visits for a safer time!

Reminder, please save your visit for a safer time!

Hastings Borough Council, and surely most of the people of Hastings, are concerned that this bank holiday weekend may see a horde of visitors arrive in Hastings, despite the continuing Coronavirus Crisis. 

Hastings has the lowest Coronavirus infection rate in England (Argus); ie equivalent to just 47 per 100,000 compared to the national average of 244 per 100,000. Please let's keep it that way, and please do not bring Covid-19 into the town, many thanks.

If too many people visit any one place it becomes untenable to maintain social distancing there, and anyway, there's nothing for you to do here! Public facilities are not available, specifically public toilets are closed, and there are no washing facilities either. Pubs, bars and restaurants, where people could head to for toilet facilities in 'normal' times, not to forget they provide hospitality facilities, are closed too!

Amusement arcades are closed, the fair is closed, museums are closed, libraries are closed, the aquarium is closed, the castle is closed, the pier is closed, indeed, all 'visitor attractions' are closed, and  most shops are closed too.

We are not going anywhere, so please save your visit for a safer time!

Respect the people of Hastings and stay safe folks.

Save your visit for a safer time please!
