❤I love Hastings!!! ❤ Lived here for 20 years and feel safe. Hastings has a certain vibe and community feeling that is hard to describe 🤷🏻♀️ The potholes are atrocious though😅
Don't get me wrong. Hastings can be dangerous if you look for it. But you'd have to dig deep and behave badly to find it. On the whole, Hastings is a pretty tame place to live.
Used to go on holiday there in the 1950’s… Coombe Haven Caravan site! Went there on a job about 20 years ago & it did look somewhat down at heel… like a lot of U.K. coastal towns. Visited there again last month & the place looked so much better, with interesting antique shops, coffee shops & nice old pubs. It seemed to me that Hastings wasn’t ‘dangerous’ at all, in fact quite the opposite!
Hastings isn't that bad. Some unsavoury characters, but compared to some other seaside towns in nearby Kent (Dover for example) or West Sussex (Littlehampton or Bognor) there's a lot more to see and do for a visitor
I’ve lived in Hastings for 40 years. Whilst I recognise the down at heel condition of the town and the social issues that come with poverty, I still love Hastings. The town has character that many other seaside towns lack. When the incumbent Tory MP is voted out next week then I believe that Hastings will improve and hopefully blossom to its true potential.
Well ,nothing in your video showed anything dangerous or were you to scared to go into the center. Or are you from Eastbourne tourist board trying to gain visitors. Loads go to Hastings for weeked from london for a jolly .seems no more dangerous than most places .
That’s the point of the video, there is nothing dangerous about Hastings despite it being statistically the most dangerous town in the county. I am London 👍
The seaside towns have always had drugs, drink, petty crime and a floating population. Hastings had a bad reputation for poverty in the late 19th and early 20th century .It has a lot of good points but the schools are poor
I grew up in Hastings in the 60' 70's and 80's and it was a beautiful place to grow up as a child. The parks, the beach, the ice rink and swimming pool. The east and west hill were amazing and always something to do. It is a lot more run down now though and probably due to cheap package holidays. Let's face it it is the same with so many coastal towns now.
While describing a dangerous Hastings, you're pictures showed a very different normality. The only dodgy bits I was aware of (moved out of Brighton 2010, after frequent visits) were in St Leonards; pity you didn't show a pic of Bulverhythe in all it's "glory" to show the really crap bit.
Nonsense, its a fab place to live, im next door in Bexhill but I worked in pubs and nightclubs in Hastings, it doesnt hold any fear for me, its in my heart. And you just know where not to go at what time - like any town. Its always been a place Londeners want to come to...
103? 😂 For UK mid sized towns that's very low! 😅 There were some corners of Hastings that felt a little more dodgy, I think I some people dealing drugs (in bright daylight)... But yes, even thigh it was nice, calm and mostly beautiful, it's notable that many in Hastings do not seem to have a lot of financial resources, to put it mildly.
ive lived here since 52 and its a great town to live and visit mind you after dark in the town centre its more like Gotham City and after 4.00 pm i wont be ansewring my door only joking guys its a swell place is our Hastings pj hastings
No surprise there. Ok it was many years ago when I was last there and thought then, what a dump. I thought it might have improved but I guess not likely with the way the entire country seems to be going down. As usual the U.K. always adopts the worst aspects of the U.S. which is also declining.
Things were not being dealt with in this town things were not being fixed because council tax money was being stolen by everybody who works in the council and in the police force and mental health
When living in Hove I looked at a property there to buy. Upon arriving I witnessed alcoholics arguing and the general rundown state of the place. Thankfully I chose not to buy there. What a sh!thole.
As a Brightonian born and bred, and having lived in Brighton and Hove for the first 55 years of my life, I find your comment of Hastings being a sh*t hole a bit bloody rich! Brighton is a dump now. The council and incomers have ruined the 'city', the student accommodation along the Lewes Road is dreadful, the council have ruined most of the parks from the beautiful places they used to be, and they have allowed the demolition of historic areas only to be replaced by hideous blocks, borrowed from another nondescript architect, for another nondescript town. The Marina used to have covenants to try to keep the buildings within certain specifications so that it did not interfere with the views from the roads, or other local properties, but that's all gone out of the window now. I moved in two stages to other towns in East Sussex and regularly visit Hastings. It is a very nice place, beautiful parks and countryside parks, lovely history and charming areas, but suffering for decades from a lack of investment, and has a charm and warmth that Brighton and Hove has lost over the years. Not only that but everywhere you go in Brighton and Hove all you can smell apart from food outlets is cannabis! Yuk🤢 So glad I escaped😊
@@jeangenie5807 I moved from Brighton three years ago, having lived the first 66 years of my life there. I lived just off Coombe Road, just behind the new high rises in Lewes Road. It was fine in the 80s and 90s, but got gradually worse in the last 20 years I lived there. So sad, because I was so proud to be a Brightonian. I had local roots going back hundreds of years. I feel driven out, but am happy living just 10 miles inland.
wonder if everyone knows about the terrible tragic Spree Killing in September 2004. Four random selected people apparently were stabbed to death across a few days with a break in the middle. The man who committed suicide in BROADMOOR 2006 found guilty schizophrenic and addict sufferer Daniel Gonzalez of Woking. He attacked two adults who escaped then killed woman who worked Brighton tckt office Marie harding. then in London a pub landlord Ian (? need check any of the many news reports) killed. Then a day or so after he took public transport from his parents house - Lesley savage worked local council and British gas/Centrica and step dad Steven Harper - he got into the door of a retired couple and killed both in their hallway. is it relevant. I can't forget as his mum was my supervisor then. I was forced to go sick due to the coercive wrong treatment.
Grow up with thesw clickbait , boring, repetetive and recycled titles. You missed the RUclips monetization wave. Try something new. Ive lived here my whole life and you its funny to see now - the most dangerous town in east sussex - swimming with rich middle class types moving here. Try harder.
The title is a factual based on crime stats, the point of the video is to highlight it feels safe and a nice town and should not be considered the most dangerous town in the county despite its high crime rate. But thank you for watching and listening to the content. I’m pleased to be described as rich middle class, I have moved up in the world 😂 I am doing quite well on the monetisation front, CPM average is £6.33 across my 7 RUclips channels and bring in around 1.1m views per month across them all. Not enough to retire on but nice passive income and I haven’t made a video on any of the channels for about 6 months and the views from historical content continues to increase. But the important part is the journalistic nature of debunking that these towns are unsafe.
It’s a shithole which is a shame it never used to be. Used to be a great place to live but now it is neglected and crime is the biggest problem for me as a resident. However the history here is amazing.
I used to go there a lot - it’s really no different than any other immigrant town up and down the country , litter and crap everywhere , strange men walked by around
I agree. Hastings is absolutely dire. I nearly got attacked by a guy with a metal pole there once, completely unprovoked, he was obviously just a absolutes nutter! That was in 1999. Also it was the first and last time I ever any where near that pit. I loved your video though. 💯💫👍
Thousands and thousands of children's bodies were found buried underneath the sand and up in the fire hills And each body was psychically attached to a citizen in this town and people from other places using psychics and they brought them back to dig up the bodies and then they tortured them and killed them for killing children
You've lived a pretty sheltered life if you feel danger here.
❤I love Hastings!!! ❤

Well that turned to dust did'nt it !.

The most dangerous thing about Hastings is driving on the pothole-ridden roads 🙂
The seaside towns have always had drugs, drink, petty crime and a floating population. Hastings had a bad reputation for poverty in the late 19th and early 20th century .It has a lot of good points but the schools are poor
@@Marvin-dg8vj lived there for 25 years man and boy, don’t need to tell me. Glad to have moved away though it’s nice to visit from time to time.
Grew up in Hastings. I go back every year for a month. Now live in Brazil. Hastings is paradise compared to the “lovely” place I live in now.
Hastings is lovely. A few junkies but apart from that , many a lovely day out I had there swimming in the sea
Nothing wrong with Hastings. Lovely place.
If you think there is nothing wrong you need to open your eyes mate
Come on, mate, why do you say it's a lovely place when that place has the worst pothole road and even though a dumphole and dangerous
I grew up in Hastings in the 60' 70's and 80's and it was a beautiful place to grow up as a child. The parks, the beach, the ice rink and swimming pool. The east and west hill were amazing and always something to do.

I live here. The only mugging/violence I have witnessed in 40 years has been at Eastbourne, generally considered far more genteel!
Brighton. Years ago I talked to a retired police superintendent. Back in the past you only got into the Brighton police if you were 6 ft tall.
Hastings is a brilliant place. I love it there, and I've known several beautiful girls who all come from Hastings.

The graffiti on the timbered house is tragic.
Yes, why do idiots do this? Morons.

Hastings is a happy town..

Love Hastings
What a load of crap! It’s on the up. Have you seen the surge in property prices. Londoners are flocking here.
I’ve heard Hastings is up and coming .
The pothole ridden roads are the problem! HHHHHEEELLLLLOOOO
I live in Hastings it’s the worst place ever
Never been the same since the influx of Albanian and Yugoslav gangs took over in the 2010s.
Peacehaven.
When living in Hove I looked at a property there to buy. Upon arriving I witnessed alcoholics arguing and the general rundown state of the place. Thankfully I chose not to buy there. What a sh!thole.

Ah well we have a wonderful police force to cope with it all.
Absolute rubbish, Eastbourne far worse with county lines and kids over running the town centre with crime.
Grow up with thesw clickbait
, boring, repetetive and recycled titles.

Bollocks. We use the warning to keep out DFLs. (Down From London).
It’s a shithole which is a shame it never used to be. Used to be a great place to live but now it is neglected and crime is the biggest problem for me as a resident. However the history here is amazing.
Crowley cursed the place
You should see Bexhill and Sidley you would think that you were in iran or Africa not England
I used to go there a lot - it’s really no different than any other immigrant town up and down the country , litter and crap everywhere , strange men walked by around

I loved your video though. 💯💫👍
Hastings is far from dire and calling it a pit?
Did you stay in a refuse bin and refuse to vacate?
"Nearly attacked " so you weren't attacked.
Open borders
Thousands and thousands of children's bodies were found buried underneath the sand and up in the fire hills
And each body was psychically attached to a citizen in this town and people from other places using psychics and they brought them back to dig up the bodies and then they tortured them and killed them for killing children
“ALLURE” ! Did you say allure ????? 🤣🤣🤣What is alluring about another rubbish dump of a town in England ?
