Mid Sussex MP Alison Bennett said: “It is great to see Mid Sussex being celebrated, with Lindfield being named as the best place to live in the South East. I always find Lindfield is a happy, friendly village with a strong sense of community (and a great Village Day too). It is clear that its residents are proud of where they live, and I am so pleased that this has been recognised.”
Councillor Robert Eggleston, Leader of Mid Sussex District Council, said: “I am delighted that Lindfield has been recognised as the best place to live in the southeast by the Sunday Times. One of the district’s most picturesque villages, with its historic high street, popular local amenities, and easy access to beautiful Sussex countryside, it’s no surprise that it’s been judged to be one of the top spots in the region.
“We will continue to work with the local community to maintain Lindfield’s unique charm and character and support local services.”
