We are applying for designated bathing beach status for West Marina Beach in 2026 🏖️

This afternoon our Clean Water Action! crew Lucy, Sue and Rebecca joined Councillor Cllr Becca Horn on the beach where we counted swimmers - such a hard day at the office! ☀️ 🍦 🌊

Last year our test results revealed poor water quality on this beach. This year it’s much improved - because it’s so dry. But we need the Environment Agency to test here - which they will be required to do if we get bathing beach status.

We have to keep monitoring Southern Water all year round! 🧪🦠

Please complete our short public West Marina Bathing Beach survey to share your opinion - link in bio

Thank you Surfers Against Sewage Hastings Green Party Helena Dollimore For Hastings and Rye for your support 💙💚❤️🙏

Full house on Saturday when people came to the Observer Building The Hastings Commons Hastings, to watch The People’s Emergency Briefing on the climate and nature crisis.
Afterwards we gathered around tables to build a shared understanding of the challenges ahead for people in our town, and to identify, connect and strengthen a community resilience network.

People from dozens of local groups who are already doing amazing work supporting people with sustainable approaches to food, health, care, energy, and housing were in the room, along with our MP, Green Councillors, faith leaders and emergency workers.

Thank you to all who came and volunteered 🙏💗

The climate crisis affects us all, but not equally – some are and will be harder hit, so we must listen, recognise that and act collectively.

Been working on the Hastings People’s Emergency Briefing (PEB) National Emergency Briefing for the past few weeks with Jessica Townsend and Jane Ripley Standing Up For Nature - Hastings and Rother and others in our amazing Hastings and St Leonards community.

This year we’ve witnessed unprecedented heat, wildfires and floods yet this is the
least extreme weather we will experience in our lifetime.

We need to come together as communities to listen to the experiences of the most at risk, build mutual support, identify and implement adaptations and create resilience networks. We can’t wait for government to act - but we must pressure them to screen this film nationally. Knowledge is empowerment.

The free screening and conversation is at the Observer Building The Observer Building this Saturday. We’re at capacity but there will be other screenings to follow - the next is at Electric Palace on 27 and 29 August -
