West Sussex County Council Highways department is investigating transport issues in the town centre to identify improvements.

The council wants to work with residents and businesses to review how the town centre benefits from the Relief Road.

A public consultation will take place on Tuesday, December 2, at Clair Hall, Haywards Heath, from 2pm to 8pm.

Motorists are being encouraged to use the new Haywards Heath Relief Road to stop traffic travelling through the town centre.

Councillor Steven Hillier said: “This study will give the town a list of priorities which will help the councils to apply to the government for money in the future.”
