Community Connections Directory out now

Community Connections DirectoryWe've published a new and updated edition of the Community Connections Directory to help older residents get access to vital support services.

The new Community Connections Directory contains extensive contact information for the many local organisations that offer help to older people in the community. It provides details of organisations that can help older people with a range of issues like managing money, maintaining independence, finding local social activities, or getting support with housing issues.

Copies are available now from the Mid Sussex District Council offices, Help Points in Burgess Hill, East Grinstead, and Haywards Heath, in local libraries and in doctor’s surgeries throughout Mid Sussex. An online edition is also available at www.community-connections.org.uk/.

The Directory forms part of the Mid Sussex Wellbeing Hub, a comprehensive service providing residents with information and advice on health and lifestyle matters.

For more information about the Community Connections Directory, or any other Mid Sussex Wellbeing service, call 01444 477191, email wellbeing@midsussex.gov.uk or visit the Wellbeing website at www.midsussexwellbeing.org.uk.

Government funding of up to £1.8million has been awarded to the West Sussex Chargepoint Network, which is providing electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints for residents in areas which have no off-street parking.

The award will part-fund up to 450 on-street chargepoints and 100 in public car parks. The remaining installation costs will be covered by EV chargepoint company Connected Kerb, one of the UK’s leading providers of EV charging infrastructure solutions.

The new wave of installations will provide a significant boost to the growing West Sussex Chargepoint Network, which is supported by West Sussex County Council and all the districts and borough councils in the county.

This extra funding award by the Department for Transport is excellent news and will further boost what is already the UK’s largest rollout of electric vehicle chargepoints by a local authority. 

Proposed locations from the initial phase of the on-street chargepoint rollout can be viewed on the Connected Kerb website.

The project is fully funded by Connected Kerb, meaning zero cost to the councils.
