Park all day in Mid Sussex this Christmas for £1
Christmas shoppers can park all day in Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath for just £1 on the Saturdays leading up to Christmas this December.
Mid Sussex District Council has reduced the cost of parking to just £1 in specific long stay car parks to encourage people to shop locally and support local traders.
Parking on Sundays is already free and it will cost just £1 to park in the Franklynn Road car park in Haywards Heath, Queens Crescent and Station Road car parks in Burgess Hill and the Vicarage or Norton House car parks in East Grinstead on Saturdays too throughout December.
“Christmas is the most important time of the year for most local retailers and we are showing them our support by dropping Saturday parking charges to just £1 all day in the run up to Christmas,” said Councillor Gary Marsh, Cabinet Member for Service Delivery.
“Popping into town is a quick and convenient way to pick up gifts for friends and family so please show your support for local traders this Christmas by shopping in your local town or village.
“I hope this encourages even more people to shop locally and attracts shoppers from other areas to visit Mid Sussex.”
Short stay car parks in East Grinstead and Haywards Heath will also be free after 1pm on the day of the Christmas light switch-on events. To support these events you will not have to pay during the afternoon on Saturday 25th November at:
The Orchards, Haywards Heath

Road Works in the village this week.
County Clean, a sewage/road work company, have commenced work near the Royal Oak to connect nearby houses to main drainage.
The excavation will be near the centre of the road which will be severely restricted. The contractor has been advised that The Street
has a variety of large vehicles that need to pass this narrow section of road. The contractor will assist by pulling in their site fencing where necessary.
The roadworks will be staffed during the day and the fencing pulled close in overnight. The work will be finished by Friday.
The Parish Council were not given any notice of the work commencing.

Holiday home for our dog
We have just lost our lovely holiday dog minders due to illness. We are looking for home boarding for our dog Wolfie, rated as perfect by our previous minders. He gets on well with other dogs, and is quiet at home. If you know anyone who offers this service, could you email on gilder6646@aol.com or phone Chris on 552 . We would never put him in kennels and are anxious to find a new holiday home for him. Thanks Chris

We need your Help!
Complete our survey to help improve your broadband speed to Poynings and surrounding areas.
Although the broadband to the BT box in Poynings is fibre, it is only copper from there to your house. The further away from the Street Cabinet (next to Poynings Village Hall) you are, the poorer the signal you will receive.
To check your internet speed, go to www.speedtest.net. It should be done with your computer connected directly to the router. If you check it on a wireless connection it may give a false reading if the speed to your house is good but the Wi-Fi poor.
To help put pressure on the provider we need to find out what speeds people are receiving so we can show that it is not as fast as is claimed. Could you complete the short questionnaire below to help us.

Help and support to stay warm at home this winter
As the winter starts to bite, local residents are being offered the chance to get advice and support on how to keep their homes warm and save on energy bills.
Mid Sussex District Council has organised four ‘Heat for Health’ energy roadshows in November to help more local people to be comfortable and maintain a healthy temperature in their homes.
The Heat for Health project aims to help and support households that may be experiencing high energy bills and are finding it difficult to keep their homes warm as temperatures fall.
Experts will be on hand to provide practical advice on how to save energy by installing insulation, reducing draughts and replacing old appliances. There will also be a chance to find out about any offers on renewable energy, insulation and boiler replacement schemes.
Improving energy efficiency in the home is a great way to save money and is good for the environment because saving energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions, one of the main greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.
Visitors that would like to assess the savings they may be able to make by changing their energy provider should bring a year’s worth of bills.
Councillor Norman Webster, Cabinet Member for Community said: “If you had difficulty keeping your home warm last winter, or you struggled to pay your energy bills, please come along to one of our Heat for Health roadshows and find out how we can help.
“There are lots support schemes out there to help you replace inefficient boilers or improve insulation and you may be shocked to find out how much money you could save on heating bills simply by switching supplier.
“We want to make sure everyone in Mid Sussex is comfortable at home, so please come along and meet with our experts this month to find out how you could make your home warmer this winter.”
The Heat for Health roadshows will be taking place at the following locations:
