HAYWARDS HEATH
Sunday 28 November 1999

 

Building Developments
A LINDFIED couple must rethink a proposed extension after a neighbour delivered a heartfelt plea to District Councillors. They agreed to defer consideration of the application on the property after hearing the neighbour describe the scheme as 'overbearing'. Telling the meeting she was also concerned about its affect on a row of conifers along the boundary.

 

Anger as beggars go on the knock

Residents in the Penland Road area of Haywards Heath received unwelcome visitors last Saturday afternoon. A group of 'Bosnian refugees', some with babies, have

been knocking on doors begging for money. A resident of Blunts Wood Road said "She handed me a grubby bit of paper with 'I'm a refugee; I've no food and no money' written on it and of course I gave her some money. But a friend later saw the refugees get into a large car in Sainsburys car park and one of the other women had on an expensive leather coat; so it is obviously a scam".
