Mid Sussex District Council has taken over the running of part of a Burgess Hill community facility, much to the concern of the town council.

Cabinet members voted to end a rural management agreement with Burgess Hill Town Council for the running of the toilets and hiring out of the Pavilion at the Janes Lane recreation ground when they met last Monday (October 15).

The move will swell the district’s coffers by £12,000 per year but will leave the town council out of pocket as it will no longer receive its 50 per cent share of the hiring fees.
