Burgess Hill Town Centre Redevelopment

This is a public forum run by local volunteers for the people who live and work in and around the Burgess Hill area to comment on the recent MSDC plans to re-develop our town centre.

Background


In January, Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC) in conjunction with its selected developer (Thornfield Properties plc) published its long term redevelopment plans for Burgess Hill town centre. This came a quite as shock to many residents and businesses, as none had been previously consulted.

As a result, a local action group was formed to obtain greater information and co-ordinate our efforts in ensuring that our town centre is not turned into a multi-storey car park/concretre monstrosity.

If you have something to say about the plans (positive or negative) - say it below by adding your comments to our posts. If you would like to become an editor (to make posts), please email nataly@omegadm.co.uk. We currently have 37 editors.

Dear Burgess Hill resident.

In a few days the consultation over the Burgess Hill town centre
redevelopment plans will be over, and if approved it will be
too late to change.
The town centre redevelopment project was presented to us
sugar coated with new station, New town square and many many
more attractions, while hiding the real cost to the residents.

If you object to hundreds of low cost, high density flats (Without
parking) in 6 story buildings within town centre.
If you object to replacing the current parking areas in town
centre with buildings and creating for the town instead under
ground parking facilities.
If you object to tearing down of the row of houses across from
Waitrose and replacing them with six story flats buildings.
If you object to replacing Queens Crescent greens with a hotel.
If you object to developers taking over the town centre blocking
it for the next fifteen years.

If you would like Burgess Hill to remain a small town with low
crime rate.

PLEASE HELP BY WRITING OR EMAILING YOUR
OBJECTION TO YOUR LOCAL COUNCILLOR.

Let them know how you feel.

Residents of Station Road
