You may have noticed three trees recently planted in Albourne Road as you head west past Langton Lane. To be more precise the trees have been planted on either side of the mature Ash located on the northern verge next to the farm entrance.
The trees are three different variety of Maple and were planted by WSCC contractors on behalf of the Society. This planting is a prelude to a Society led village wide scheme of tree planting on roads that have verges. For the scheme to succeed it will need the support and approval of those residents likely to be involved. To this end the Society will carry out a pilot planting depending on the outcome of a survey of residents in a particular road.
We should have more information on this within the next few months and details will be placed here on the website news and in our newsletter in March. |

Mid Sussex District Council will be discussing its draft 20 year Plan for the District on the 19th October at its full Council Meeting. This plan includes much of Burgess Hill Town Council's own draft 20 year plan and that of Hurstpierpoint & Sayers Common Parish Council.
All these plans are pointing in the same direction, by provision of additional housing, the increasing of economic activity, the improvement of infrastructure and facilities, for all residents of the District.
How all this is achieved is a matter of concern for many residents and to help you be persuaded, one way or the other, we have linked all three plans below for your convenience.
