ROADS around the town are getting new name plates thanks to a one-year agreement for their maintenance between the Town Council and Mid Sussex District Council.
So far 23 street name plates have been replaced – 15 in East Grinstead, and two each in Crawley Down, Sharpthorne, Turners Hill and Ashurstwood.
But with only 40% of their £4,024 funding used, the Town Council will now seek to extend its agreement to three years in line with Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath Town Councils.
