Hurst Life’s September issue has an update from Hurstpierpoint & Sayers Common Parish Council with news from around the parish. Below, we have gathered a sample for you to savour or go grab an issue today to read the whole piece.

Reeds Lane Recreation Ground

Work has started on improving drainage at the Reeds Lane Recreation Ground to try to enable this very wet area to be used throughout the year. Following this, new play equipment will finally be able to be installed. Apologies to residents on the delay to this project. Section 106 funding can only be released on first occupation of the new houses on Kingsland Laine. Unfortunately, due to Covid, construction here has been much slower than usual. However, MSDC have now confirmed that they have now received the section 106 funding from the developer and therefore we can now proceed with an application for funds to refit the play area.

Christmas Lights

We are hoping to build on the success of the Christmas tree and lights in Hurstpierpoint by installing lights on lampposts in Sayers Common. Residents have voted on their preferred design; funding is in place in partnership with the Sayers Common Community Shop and we are now going through the extensive testing process that is needed to do this safely. The schedule for this is tight but we very much hope that these lights can be in place for Christmas 2021.
