TOWN Mayor Liz Bennett has unveiled a series of new signs to guide visitors around Ashplats Wood.

It is hoped that the signs, produced in a joint project by East Grinstead War Memorial Ltd, the Ashplats Conservation Group and Mid Sussex District Council, will guide visitors  around the ancient woodland which borders the lower end of East Court, and explain more about the history of the area which has been actively managed for the past four centuries.
