you first Bry......

Hmm, I guess it all depends where you are in your life, at any particular time.
For me, with 2 young kids, a village in the Weald of East Sussex would be great. Somewhere like Fletching.

The worst would be somewhere like Brighton.

10 or 15 ago, I would probably have said something very different...

WORST: Bognor Regis...I don't think I need to explain this decision.

BEST: Brighton, Hove, Chichester

Bognor has some nice parts like Aldwick and Felpham, Peacehaven would get my vote as worse.

Can't say theres a best it depends on what you want and what time of your life you are in. Sussex is all good.

Littlehampton gets a bad press but the beaches and river are great and great for a young family. Brighton was fantastic when I was late teens and in my twenties clubbing all the time.

I love living in Lewes... Would not go back to Brighton again... I won't knock anywhere else because it may offend those that are happy with their lot!

I live in Haywards Heath which ranges from incredibly nice on the outskirts towards Lindfield to really scummy behind the town centre into the Bentswood area. Having said that its a long way away from being a contender for the best or worst place to live in Sussex

Langley Green in Crawley? Obviously Broadfield has to be up there. A few years ago I would have said Horsham as one of the best but its gone downhill and is full of people that look like they belong in Crawley!

Best Hassocks - affordable, good transport links / schools, beautiful countryside, not pretentious. Worst - Portslade, Crawley, St Leonards

Hastings always gets a bad press - anyone got anything good to say about it ?

I refuse to acknowledge that Crawley is part of Sussex - I see it as an enclave of Shitty Surrey.

Nicest places are Findon in Worthing, Lewes and Horsham.

Worst has to be Broadfield Barton in Crawley. My ex lived there and I'd always walk her home after dark to make sure she got back safely. St Leonards is also a bit grim.
