Safer Hastings Partnership Saturday Night Bus Returns

Money is being provided from Hastings Borough Council’s Area-Based Grant fund to enable the Safer Hastings Partnership to run the initiative, in conjunction with Stagecoach and Sussex Police.

East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service Borough Commander Peter Higgins, who chairs the SHP, said, “The Safer Hastings Partnership is pleased to be able to run the Saturday Night Bus again this year. It is a valuable service helping residents to get home quickly and safely.”

Sussex Police officers will travel on each bus. The price is still just £1 and the times of the service have stayed in keeping with new licensing hours, with two buses running every half an hour from midnight until 4am.

Both buses will depart from Havelock Road, but N1 will head to White Rock, Grand Parade, London Road (St Leonards), Battle Road (Silverhill), Old Church Road, Lancaster Road, Tile Barn Road, Churchwood Drive, Crowhurst Road, Harley Shute, Bexhill Road, Grosvenor Crescent (Bo Peep), Marina, Grand Parade and back to Havelock Road.

N2 will set off in the opposite direction, travelling to Queens Road, Langham, Mount Pleasant, Priory Road, Ore Village, Malvern Way, The Ridge (Conquest Hospital), Ashdown House, Harrow Lane, Sedlescombe Road North, St Helen’s Road, Queens Road and back to Havelock Road.

Paul Harding, Operations Manager of Stagecoach in Hastings, said, “We are always happy to play a part in making Hastings a safer place.”
