Live

What is happening right now: live civic data for Hastings & St Leonards from verified public sources. Each section says where its data came from and when it last updated. The rest of this site is the record of what public bodies publish over time. This page is about right now. Rendered 17:50 01 Nov GMT.

Planning applications have their own page, taken straight from the council's weekly lists. So do street problems (reported potholes, broken lights and blocked paths), which change over weeks rather than minutes.

Gas, a power cut, water, flooding: who to call.

Is my bus running?

16 buses reporting where they are in town now. For each route, the buses reporting against the journeys the timetable has in town at this minute:

Route	Reporting now	Timetabled now

A bus whose tracker is off isn't counted, so fewer reporting than timetabled doesn't by itself mean a bus didn't run. See every bus on the map · Stops, routes and times · Did the buses run?
