Hastings Forum

Just saying_ _ _..anyone suffering from this particular situation shouldn't suffer in silence. Not looking to make any enemies but it was horrendous situation that required action and reading this thread struck a cord.

I recently had serious issues with some fairly menacing very noisy neighbours who were openly drug dealing and the police in St Leonards , once informed were allover it, helpful, acted swiftly and dealt with the problem. I found the entire experience professional and impressive. They followed everyt...

Rightly or wrongly this country's economy is totally dependent on the building and selling of houses. I am sure we will hear something soon about 'managed growth' in the property sector from our new Canadian bank manager as he puts the rates up in 2014.

- The St Leonard I have been in this pub quite a few times since reading this post, it keeps restricted hours to stop clashing with street drinkers but it has been busy every time I have gone in there.

If you are buying somewhere don't write off areas around Warrior square. Used to be a bit rough but that was long time ago and it seems to have a real problem shaking off this reputation which means prices are cheaper than Hastings. Fantastic architecture and feels grander than Hastings. Lovely aven...

SV, I think you really need to put things into perspective. I live between StL and London. I have lived in SE London for most of my life and have a mixed commute spending periods of time in both places. St Leonards may not have the cash and inflated property prices of it's immediate neighbours but i...
