The Countryside Code

It's not just the Fat Tuesday Music Festival 2022 (blog) that is being blessed by gorgeous weather, but you may well take advantage with a lovely walk in the countryside this weekend, for example, in Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve (above). But are you aware of The Countryside Code? If not, here are the salient points; for more detail see the The Countryside Code itself online (website):

Respect other people

• Consider the local community and other people enjoying the outdoors 

• Park carefully so access to gateways and driveways are clear

• Leave gates and property as you find them

• Follow paths but give way to others where it is narrow

Protect the natural environment 

• Leave no trace of your visit, take all your litter home

• Do not have BBQs or fires

• Keep dogs under effective control 

• Dog poo – bag it and bin it

Enjoy the outdoors

• Plan ahead, check what facilities are open, be prepared

• Follow advice and local signs and obey social distancing measures

New Hotel Approved...

Further to my blog in November, Hastings Borough Council's Planning Committee yesterday approved the building of a new Premier Inn hotel on what is now the carpark at the corner of Cornwallis Street/South Terrace/Mann Street (Sussex World).

 

Let's hope this brings jobs to Hastings, which it should really!

A Sad Day to loosen Covid Rules...

On the same day that England ends legal Covid restrictions (BBC), Putin orders Russian troops to attack Ukraine (BBC), a worrying and sad day indeed!

My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, stay safe!
