The Town Mayor of Hailsham Councillor Paul Holbrook invited Royal Voluntary Service Platinum Champion Lord Brett McLean to partake on a whistle stop tour of Hailsham to meet local independent businesses including cafes, florists, estate agents and the banking hub.
Lord Brett McLean said " I'm delighted to have accepted the Mayors invitation to look around Hailsham and have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the vibrancy of Hailsham Town centre and find it simply amazing that there are no empty retail units within the town centre, the five car parks that offer free parking must be an element to why Hailsham has a buzzing and successful high street, this supported by a regular bus service linking Hailsham to other coastal towns such as Bexhill and Eastbourne really helps to keep Hailsham alive.
From all the businesses I met everyone was friendly, helpful and professional.
I would definitely recommend a visit to Hailsham if you haven't been, a great town with a great selection of independent and national retail chains all situated in a very clean and well kept area ."
