Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

This supports the absence of worthwhile promotion of the region to holidaymakers. Poor road and rail links will continue to mean that Hastings is isolated from traditional 'commercial opportunities and markets of London for rapid recovery'. Britain's economic woes and the growth of the 'staycation' has not been exploited.
