??????? Whats Happening in Burgess Hill ???????

---

Moaning Bob,

What's happening to the Secondary schools in Burgess Hill. I remember when the second phase of new houses were being built on the West End Meadows Estate, about 5 years ago. There was talk of a new school being built to accomodate the extra children. Is this ever going to happen or are people sending their kids out of Burgess Hill now to schools like Downlands in Hassocks, and Warden Park in Cuckfield because the Oakmeeds school cant cope. Surely with all the extra houses being built something has got to give!!!

Bob's Answer.

Hmm... you've got me there pal, I dont know the answer to that one. But I'll tell you what I'm going to find out just for you. Meanwhile, if anyone else knows let me and Martin know will you.

 

The answer to the question about schools is that Burgess Hill is going to have two new schools. One Primary school - next to Tesco's and one Secondary school across the road(A2300) from the Triangle leisure centre on farm land. It is also to have a range of sport fields. When the schools are going to be built is unknown yet. Ther is also another question as to what affect this will have on the Oakmeeds secondary school. Perhaps someone from the council will let us know Bob.
