Bexhill needs to be distinctive from neighbouring Hastings and Eastbourne – both investing heavily in tech, music and events-led creative industries growth. With a clear offer for visual artists, both traditional and cutting-edge, a new narrative can be written about Bexhill as a place to work, play and visit. Investing in work space is itself more of an art than a science, and there are a number of ingredients that need to be in place in order to maximise both economic and cultural return. We will demonstrate, through case studies from the local area and further afield, that, the right kind of creative work space can attract and sustain the mix of talents that can enable a range of creative individuals and organisations to flourish and form identifiable clusters.

This document describes our Penalty Fares Scheme for the purposes of rule 3.2 b. 1.2 We have decided to introduce a Penalty Fares Scheme because the previous operator of the railway passenger services comprised of the Thameslink Great Northern franchise, First Capital Connect and Southern Railways, operated a Penalty Fares Scheme in such franchise area and the experience has proved that it is an efficient means to deter ticketless travel. In addition, once some Southeastern routes and stations are integrated into the TSGN franchise from 14 December 2014 and once the entire current Southern franchise is integrated into the TSGN franchise on 26th July 2015, it is important that there is consistency across all franchise areas (as Southeastern and Southern both also operate a Penalty Fares Scheme); so as to avoid causing confusion for our passengers. This scheme will now include all stations under schemes previously operated by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited and Southern Railway Limited.
