p5Queensway Gateway Road (Project Complete) The QGR provides a new road between Queensway and A21 in north Hastings. The road was opened on 30 September 2025 and the project has been formally completed.
p6Hastings and Bexhill Movement and Access Package (Delivery ongoing) This scheme of walking and cycling infrastructure improvements and junction capacity improvements to support housing and employment was awarded £9m LGF funding by the SELEP Accountability Board in February 2018. Varying slippage and delays were experienced across the package as a result of Covid-19, resulting in consultations being delayed which had knock-on impacts on schemes progressing through to construction. Subsequently, pedestrian crossings at the Ridge, Sandown Primary School, Battle Road and Collington Avenue have finished construction. Hastings and Bexhill bus stop upgrades have been delivered and the Hastings Wayfinding, Albert Road and Cooden Drive packages, as well as the mini roundabouts at Beeching Road and Sackville Road have all been completed. An updated business case outlining how ESCC intends to progress the remaining packages and extending the completion date to March 2026 was approved by the SELEP Accountability Board in September 2023. Two schemes remain: Station Approach and Bexhill A Cycle Path. The project is currently forecast to be completed by December 2027.
