The report, commissioned by the last government, was finished just as the general election was called, but has been published today by Matthew Pennycook and Stephen Kinnock, the new Ministers of Housing and Care. There is a link below to the Report and the Ministerial Statement.

The Tiger

The Tiger is a fifteenth century, Grade 2 star listed former public house in Lindfield now owned by All Saints Church next door and providing a wide range of facilities for the church and the wider community. We were pleased, having obtained listed building consent for a wide ranging package of repairs and improvements, that the first phase of the work, the complete renewal of the upper floor in the Tiger Hall, was efficiently completed during the summer holidays.
