O/T Haywards Heath Relief Road open!

[beorhthelm]

If you expand Burgess Hill though, you'll end up merging into these smaller towns & villages that you speak of (Hurstpierpoint & Hassocks spring to mind).

I'm not sure the residents of Cuckfield, Lindfield, Hurstpierpoint or Hassocks would agree that aggressively expanding Haywards Heath or Burgess Hill only affects the bigger town.

last time i checked theres nothing between Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, save for Wivelsfield which is just an extension of BH anyway. seriously, who'd really notice let alone care if they filed in with developments to suit many budgets and needs, leaving those other settlements mentioned and whole parts of mid-sussex (and further afield) untouched. pick the battles, unless protecting property prices is the priority and you advocate no development at all, this would be ideal territory to concede.

I thought the mental hospital was on the land opposite The Beechurst Harvester on land that has been sold to Wimpey to build houses on.

Don't think so. Now Southdowns Park.

What was the hospital opposite the Harvester

Why it is only 4 mins by train every 10 mins and buses from Haywards Heath to Burgess Hill every 15 mins. Just to add most of the bus users are using concessionary passes, like me and my wife.

I meant a new station for the commuters going from Bolnore (and proposed new developments) to London daily. Currently HH station car park fills fast, and as far as I know there is still no early morning/ late evening busses around town.

Coming from Ansty this evening I tried going on it to avoid going around the town and I think it will be quicker to the hospital while the water road works are in operation but not sure about after then

Your joking right. Just think about how many traffic lights you have to pass through and then the filter at the end of muster green.

I'm amazed how long the road works have gone on for in Haywards Heath. Why don't they put more workers on the job?

Ask southern water. I would have run two shifts but what do I know.

The old Haywards Heath hospital. Both this and Cuckfield were closed when the PRH was opened.

 

[The Birdman]

Could do with building a new station somewhere between wivelsfield and Hayward's Heath , have a large car park and cycle racks.

With all the new homes being built they could also do with improving bus services around the towns.

good idea and I would like see see the old Bus service back which ran Large merc mini buses.

What really amazed me was why they didn't wait to start digging up South Road until the Relief Road was open. It would only have meant a delay of three to four weeks and saved an awful lot of chaos. I guess common sense doesn't come into their planning decisions.

The old mental hospital was at Southdowns Park ( st Francies) which also houses the PRH the Wimpy houses are just past the old Haywards Heath hospital towards Cuckfield which is now a NHS facility and the Klienwort centre.

Did you used to live in Falmer Nimby?

Who cares if there are not enough homes for the next generation as long as you are okay.

I think he may have been talking about the quality of the planning and the positioning of the houses.
