Hurst Green

Road closures and diversions will be in place for through traffic from Coppers Corner and Johns Cross Roundabout from the 4th August for 5 nights between 8pm and 6am weather permitting. There will be a full carriageway closure of the A21 each night in both directions from Flimwell Crossroads to the A28 junction at Hastings.

The A268 and A28 will be used as the diversion routes with local access maintained along the A21 for residents. Residents and staff will be escorted past the work by staff onsite whilst the closure is in place.

The Hurst Green Community Shop & Cafe continues to grow in popularity and now needs a cook.

Due to the growing demand on the cafe a cook is urgently required over the weekends to help with the busy morning periods. The need has become SO URGENT that the shop has upgraded this role from a volunteer post to A PAID POST. The person would be required between 10.00 am and 1.30 pm on Saturdays & Sundays i.e. 7 hours a week. The post could be shared by 2 people so that they only have to work every other weekend. For further details please contact the Manager Claire Vidler on 01580 860 070 of e-mail [email protected] Volunteers to help with washing dishes using machine and with other duties would be very much appreciated.

The Hurst Green Community Shop & Cafe continues to evolve and the cafe is increasing its range of snacks and dishes (one of the best ploughman’s yet) within the unique converted church set back in the garden space.

Opening Hours are: Monday - Friday: 7.30am - 6pm. Saturday: 9am - 1am Sunday: 10am - 1pm Website: www.hurstgreenshop.co.uk
