Hastings Town Centre Public Realm and Green Connections Project – Traffic Regulation Orders

Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) are legal measures that allow changes to how roads are used. These can include amendments to parking arrangements, loading bays, waiting restrictions, pedestrian areas, and vehicle access.

The proposed changes are designed to support public realm improvements to the town centre, enhance connectivity, and create a safer, more attractive environment for everyone in Hastings.

The consultation period runs from Friday, 5th June to Thursday, 25th June.

Do you want to back your favourite venue, help your high street and support local jobs?

Our pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, nightclubs and many more are at the heart of our communities.

They bring people together and bring life to our cities, towns and villages, but they're under huge pressure from rising costs.
