The mayor of Haywards Heath has exclusively revealed plans for the '˜biggest event the town has ever done'.

This year Haywards Heath Twinning Association is celebrating two anniversaries – 20 years of twinning with Bondues France and 25 years with Traunstein in Germany.

To mark the milestones town mayor councillor James Knight has organised a gala dinner and dance for the community, which is to be held at Borde Hill Garden on Saturday, June 30.

He told the Middy: “I noticed a number of events going on this year to celebrate 100 years, such as the RAF and suffragettes and I thought we should celebrate these anniversaries.

“It is something different and we have been invited to France and Germany a few times, so it is time for them to come to us.

“We want it to be a community event and for people to come along and celebrate the anniversaries.

“The whole point of twinning came after the war. Whether you voted Brexit or not we are coming out and this means twinning is more important than ever.
