The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Plan for Neighbourhoods on Hastings.

Answered by Alex Norris

The £1.5 billion Plan for Neighbourhoods programme announced in March 2025 will deliver up to £20 million of funding and support over the next decade into 75 communities, including Hastings. The programme will lay the foundations to help bring communities together, kickstart growth and drive-up living standards.

We look forward to receiving Hastings’ 10-year vision and 4-year investment plan for the local area. We have already provided £450,000 in capacity funding for Hastings Neighbourhood Board which they can use for high-quality community engagement the results of which we will want to see in their Regeneration Plan.
