“Here is a chance to learn about what the Town Council is doing for residents and I encourage people to attend to find out what is happening,” said John Harrison, Hailsham Town Clerk.

“We have a very informative evening planned this year and preceding the formal part of the meeting there will be a fantastic opportunity for residents to find out the latest updates from the Neighbourhood Planning Team concerning the future of our town, and there will be representatives on hand from the local planning authority and other organisations too.”

“Judging by previous years we are looking forward to another good turnout.”

Town Mayor Councillor Nigel Coltman said: “It is the responsibility of all of us to help ensure that the town continues to be a pleasant place to live, work and visit, so I encourage you to come along and put forward your comments and suggestions. Your town councillors will be there to listen, help and answer any questions relating to our services and projects.”
