We drove to Eastbourne town centre to try and support our local high street shops after staying in during the pandemic since March.
When we arrived I noticed plenty of available parking which I though was strange for 11am, after parking I realised why, the price to park had doubled from £2 to £3.95.

Hide AdWe decided to drive to Bexhill have a stroll along the front look around the shops and have a coffee and most important park for free.
Eastbourne used to be a lovely place to shop but thanks to our council every decision it makes is another step to becoming a ghost town.
I cant wait for there decision regarding cycle lanes along the sea front, how many hotels will close,
Walking along Terminus Road from the train station to the shops for a tourist or OAP is a lottery whether you make it or not, the lovely grey pathed walkway looks like a pedestrian zone but watch out there’s a bus behind you.
But probably the most ridiculous decision of all is hunt the tourist centre.
Good luck with that.
