Park and save with a Mid Sussex season ticket

 

Mid Sussex District Council is reminding motorists that they could save hundreds of pounds every year by purchasing a car park season ticket instead of paying daily.

 

Thousands of people use the town centre long-stay car parks in Mid Sussex every year but many do not realise that they could make significant savings by paying for their parking annually.

 

Someone who works every day in Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath or East Grinstead and regularly parks in Mid Sussex District Council long stay car parks could save hundreds of pounds every year by buying a season ticket.

 

An annual season ticket costs just £2.18 a day for those who park five days a week. Season Tickets are available in the Cyprus Road and Queens Crescent Car Parks, Burgess Hill, Franklynn Road car park in Haywards Heath and the Vicarage Road car park, East Grinstead, all are within a short walking distance of the town centre.

 

In addition to annual season tickets, quarterly and monthly options are available to workers on a budget and still offer significant savings on daily car park charges.

 

For further information, or to apply for a season ticket visit www.midsussex.gov.uk/travel-transport/parking/places-to-park/car-parks/ or contact the Mid Sussex District Council Parking team on 01444 477212.

Raising funds for our Church

There is a simple way to raise funds for our local church at no cost to you!

Shop online via www.easyfundraising.org.uk and retailers (from John Lewis to Thomson Holidays) give a donation to your charity of choice, and Holy Trinity Church Poynings is listed on the website as a cause to support.

It’s easy:

Go to http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/ , click on ‘support a good cause’, enter ‘Holy Trinity Church, Poynings’ and click on ‘support this cause’.

Then register with your details and after that shopping online via http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/ will automatically channel donations to the Church.

Shopping itself is easy – just go to this website and find your retailer and carry on as usual with purchases.  The donations cost you nothing.

You can also use easysearch instead of Google for searches and this gives the Church 1p for every two searches.  Simply go to www.easysearch.org.uk  and put in ‘Holy Trinity Church, Poynings’ where it asks what cause you support, and then every time you do a search via this website funds trickle in.

Bookmark www.easyfundraising.org.uk and www.easysearch.org.uk now!

Thank you for your support!

Caroline and the PCC.
