EAST Grinstead’s two town centre wards are to be merged to avoid confusion next time the electorate goes to the polls.

At present the town centre is divided into two wards along the demarcation line of the A22 for Town Council elections, but is regarded as a single ward for the purposes of electing representatives to Mid Sussex District Council.

In future the two wards will be united as a single Town Ward for both Councils.

The boundaries between Imberhorne and Baldwins wards will also be redrawn so both Town and District Councils cover the same geographical areas.
