The last link between St. Helen's Woods and the wider countryside.
We are a group of local residents who are campaigning to save a patch of land between St. Helen's Woods and The Ridge from development.
A proposal from land developer Gladman Ltd. is under consideration by Hastings Borough Council for a new housing estate of around 80 houses on a this land, known as Sandrock Bends.
80 Houses, Zero Corridor
Save Sandrock Bends are highlighting the significant environmental impacts and urgent concerns about infrastructure and increased traffic for the wider Hastings community. We are working with experts to address these issues and explore alternative development sites. Residents are strongly encouraged to sign up for updates and provide feedback to the council and developers to ensure public concerns are understood.
