After years of neglect from West Sussex County Council (WSCC), the deterioration of the Lindfield Pond bollards along High Street became a painful eyesore to everyone. With the promised financial support from the Lindfield Society, Lindfield Parish Council (LPC) was able to enter into fruitful negotiations with WSCC in 2025. WSCC required a £10,000 co-payment of the total estimated cost of £30,000 to repair and replace the damaged stretch of bollards. WSCC will legally remit title to the LPC for ongoing maintenance and repair.

The Lindfield Society will donate £ 5,000 of the co-payment, with LPC contributing the remaining half. We await further details from the relevant authorities to progress this plan of action.
