Is there a nice part of Burgess Hill?

[SirDouglasLoft]

Janes lane is a five/10 minute walk from wivelsfield generally still get a seat leaving close to 7ish as possible before everyone bundles on (seatless) at haywards heath!

Had a football match there a few weeks back!

Ive lived in burgess hill pretty much my whole life. 35 years. And it gets a bad rep from the snobby H/Heathers..... sure its not the nicest town in the world but its certainly not as bad as people make out

As someone said previously. There are bad roads etc in every town.

 

[Joe Pineapples]

Nice part? The train station, as you speed away from it.

I grew up in Burgess Hll, although it's nothing special I prefer it to Haywards Heath any day. Can't see what's wrong with the place overall, there are plenty worse. Mind you it's a lot bigger than what is was in 1960. It's only a matter of time before HH and BH become one town anyway.

Folders Lane area was generally the nicest place to live, fairly close to station as well. Don't know much about it as I lived on the other side of town. Silverdale road and roads off that way are also pretty good I hear.

The roads around the Triangle (Olympus Burgess Hill nowadays) are generally nice as they're newer build homes. Really far from Wivelsfield or Burgess Hill stations though.

I never had any problems with living in Burgess Hill. There are a fair choice of pubs and restaurants around so it's bit more lively than Hassocks, say.

The town centre is becoming pretty empty and that's one of the bigger problems the town faces. Tescos are looking to expand which, if it goes ahead, could close some more shops down in town.

Indeed.

Denham Road

Denham Road

Exactly, avoid there and Cants Lane/Junction Road and everywhere else is pretty much alright. Just a shame about the town centre being empty and boring.

 

[folkestonesgull]

My godfather lives near the station - Dalewood or something like that - very nice...

As a resident of burgess hill it is a good place with the park, numerous footy clubs, and a little cinema for a cheeky session at the pictures.

NOW, it is not perfect. There are places where it is a shithole. Think one of the worse places has to be the industrial estate, the place is just a genuine shit hole and is best of being non-existent. Oh and there's a jehovah's witness there too place too which makes me laugh

Though the cunts that work there keep on knocking at my door. I'm tempted to say something that'l really offend them

Oak Hall Park/Greenlands Drive is great for commuting - 5 mins walk from station and duck pond/fields there. Plus you get straight out on the Ockley Lane (avoiding the town)out of BH towards the Downs and Brighton. Agree crap shopping centre but less than 15 mins on train to Brighton.

Happy househunting

 

[public school boy]

NO! Full of chavs

 

[wag chaser]

Have lived in Buggers Hole for last 15 years after being exiled from Brighton.
As previous comments have suggested it has good and bad.
Live in a quiet close in West End Meadows near to the Woolpack pub.
Goog neighbours and never any problem parking your car.
Must agree with town centre becoming a ghost town though

Noooooooo, we'll take to the streets to stop any merging of towns. Can you not just merge with Keymer/Hassocks instead ?.

 

[beorhthelm]

my opinion is that theres nothing wrong with it, its just a bit dull.

They eat babies, don't they?

GREW UP IN HAYWARDS HEATH SO BUGS HOLE A BIT OF A NO GO AREA!!!!! GOT TO KNOW ALOT THROUGH ALBION GAMES SO OK AFTER ALL

 

[hillbilly]

Thanks, will have a look at that. Has to be on a train line as I work in London. Hassocks is my favourite at the moment but I still have a job of persuading my other half to move north from hove rather than east or west.

No worries. I would choose Hassocks over Burgess Hill if I was to move again, but you get a bit more for your money in Burgess Hill. Also working in Burgess Hill at present which is another bonus financially.
Whilst their are some roads you would not like to live in Burgess Hill, also some in Hassocks! Good luck.

Merging Haywards Heath with Burgess Hill would benefit Haywards Heath more.
