Hastings town centre area a ‘safety concern’ for pedestrians
A pedestrian section of Hastings town centre has been labelled a ‘safety concern’ due to some drivers ignoring the ‘no vehicles’ signs.
Hastings Borough Council said the pedestrian area between Queens Road and Wellington Place has recently seen a number of delivery vehicles as many fast-food outlets started offering delivery services during the lockdown.
As a result, drivers have been driving to and congregating in front of the businesses they are collecting from.
