Mid Sussex District Council is located in the heart of the Sussex countryside and covers an area of 128 square miles. It is situated between London and Brighton, stretching northwards from the South Downs to the Surrey border.
The population is approximately 130,000 with 60 per cent living in the main towns of East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill. Over half of the district’s 128 square miles are designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and therefore is predominantly rural with 35 villages.
Mid Sussex District Council has an ambitious programme of service delivery and improvement that aims to continue to provide effective and value for money services for the 130,000 residents.
