“It’s been another very busy year where we have been taking forward a number of projects, including improvements to existing services and facilities. Our Annual Town Meeting offers a great opportunity to provide a comprehensive update on the important community projects that we have been working on to take the town forward,” said John Harrison, Hailsham Town Clerk.

Town Mayor Councillor Nigel Coltman said: “At this meeting, Hailsham residents will be given the opportunity to ask questions or raise any concerns they feel should be considered now and for the future. So please take the time to come along on the 20^th April, meet the people who represent you and let them know what you feel should be their next priority.”
