Burgess Hill Town Council has a dedicated team of men and women who work hard to look after our town. The Council is responsible for the Burial Ground, five allotment sites and three public open spaces: Batchelors Farm, Folders Meadow and West Park Reserve.

However, the remit of our Mobile Maintenance Team is far wider than this and the secret of our success is working in partnership with the larger authorities. We undertake delegated functions on behalf of West Sussex County Council and Mid Sussex District Council so we can look after more of our town and provide a faster response time to problems because we are based in Burgess Hill.

The Maintenance Team also looks after the roundabouts and various landscaped areas. Our aim is to give you a visually different experience as you drive around Burgess Hill. We also provide litter bins and seats and look after the bus shelters. We provide a rapid response team to react to issues such as potholes in the road, clearing broken glass and making safe dangerous situations. If we cannot deal with something ourselves we work closely with the Help Point Team to ensure that the job gets done.

Burgess Hill Town Council recognises the added value that working in partnership brings. One of our successful schemes that has been running for the last three years is the “Twittens” project. Burgess Hill has a high number of urban public rights of way and we recognised that a significant amount of work was required to bring these paths up to a standard so that people could use them in all weathers. The Council worked with the Public Rights of Way and Area Highways departments at West Sussex County Council and pooled funds in order to carry out improvements. To date, twelve paths have been upgraded with plans to carry out more work this year.

The Team would be glad to hear from you if you have any suggestions for improvements to our town or you would like to report a problem. Contact the Help Point on 01444 247726 where staff will be happy to help.
