Daren Burney commented 'The new fully sustainable Sports Hub will provide a wide range of sports facilities for the area, not least a brand new state of the art Stadium for Hastings United FC and a Cricket Ground and Pavilion for Horntye Park where Hastings & St. Leonards Priory CC currently play.

In addition a sand dressed hockey pitch will be provided for South Saxons Hockey Club and also an indoor sports hall where various sports will be accommodated.

The project is certainly gaining momentum and shortly we hope to commence the pre-application stage in terms of planning. Providing all goes well, in terms of our pre-application discussions and submissions, we would hope to be able to submit the planning application in early 2018 and deliver these first class facilities for the start of the 2019/20 football and hockey season’.
