Shoppers can now park in two roads in Haywards Heath town centre for an hour free-of-charge.

Councillor Sujan Wickremaratchi, vice chairman of West Sussex County Council, announced on Facebook that there is now free one-hour parking on South Road and Sussex Road where it was previously 30 minutes.

He said the change was introduced on Wednesday, March 22, but added that people who have parked for an hour must not return within two hours.
