Buses, trains, cycling, walking and the roads themselves. Most of these decisions are taken by the county or nationally.

On 1 July 2026, Hastings had 47 public charging devices, 22 of them rapid or ultra-rapid (50 kW or more): 51.5 per 100,000 people. England: 172.7 per 100,000.
Each count the DfT has published: 51 on 1 January 2026, 59 on 1 April 2026, 47 on 1 July 2026.
The DfT's note on the newest count: “One charge point operator (CPO) removed approximately 1,270 EV chargers from their publicly available open charging data in June 2026. These were private access chargers reported improperly as public chargers in this CPO's data feed. Comparisons drawn between July and April statistics may be affected by chargers that were removed from the data by this CPO. This does not reflect an increase in the number of chargers being uninstalled or decommissioned and instead it reflects an improvement to the quality of reporting.”
Where they are, as mapped
6 sites in the borough on OpenStreetMap. Volunteers map chargers, so this list is likely to be incomplete: the DfT counts 47 devices. Each links to its place on the map, where anyone can add a missing one.
National Cycle Network route 2 runs through the borough: about 13 km of it inside the boundary, mapped on OpenStreetMap as 2 sections (“National Cycle Route 2 Dover to Hastings” and “National Cycle Route 2 Hastings to Brighton”).
Besides the routes, about 0.3 km of path is mapped as a cycleway, or as a path where cycling is designated, among them Junction Road.
Volunteers map cycle parking, so the list is likely to be incomplete. Each links to its place on OpenStreetMap, where anyone can add a missing one.
East Sussex County Council, the highway authority, sets out the cycling and walking routes it proposes in its Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan ↗ (Hastings and Bexhill is one of its areas). Its routes are proposals, not built paths.

How this page is made: a document appears here when its title
or text contains one of these words: “bus”, “buses”, “bus service”, “railway”, “rail”, “cycling”, “cycle route”, “footway”, “road safety”, “speed limit”, “pothole”, “highway maintenance”, “A21”, “A259”. We match whole words and
ignore case. A matching word doesn't mean the document is mainly about this
topic, so each entry shows the word that matched and links to the council's
own document.
