About

St Helens ward lies in the eastern part of Hastings, stretching inland from the suburban coastal fringe near St Leonards. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to modern developments. Its streets are arranged on the lower slopes of the hills that rise away from the English Channel, providing a quiet, neighbourhood atmosphere distinct from the central seafront.

The local geography is defined by the narrow valley of Glyne Gap, a historically significant route. This low-lying area contains the main railway line connecting Hastings to London, effectively dividing parts of the ward. Community life focuses around local shops, schools, and several parks, including the expansive Church Wood, which offers woodland walks on the ward's northern edge.
