I’ve made some changes:

• the opening sentence gives the complete detail of Burgess Hill’s governmental situation (parish/district/county) which is what I am attempting to do with all the civil parishes in Wsx, where I try to differentiate between town or village and parish.
• Roman road - I see from here that there is such evidence: don’t know what it is precisely
• I’m not sure what was meant in this context by “interregnum” (sp)? I’ve changed it to “this time”.
• “Sudden interest”? Brighton took a while longer than that to become an influence on the area I would have thought
• I’m also not sure where the comment about Burgess Hill being a “request stop” comes from. I have rejigged the section as “Communications” and added some further details.

I believe that some Roman material was found during the major rebuilding work of the town centre in the 1970s.- sorry havent got a source right now. There is a plaque highlighting the position of the roman road halfway along Queen Elizabeth Avenue near the junction with The Brow.

[edit] Oakmeeds Merge

I don't really see how Oakmeeds Community College has any independent notability and think that it should be merged into the Burgess Hill article. JASpencer 18:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

By that note, you should write a sub-section on every school in the town (and after that start on all the other schools, colleges, hospitals etc. by town). It should stay separate, as otherwise, it will only end up being split later. --Owain.davies 19:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the previous entry, in as much as this article should stay seperate, as should Burgess Hill School for Girls, Central Sussex College, etc. With a little more work, I think the Oakmeeds article could be developed into quite an informative page. On another point, I disagree that the articles should be merged, purely on the basis that the B. Hill article is quite substantial and looking rather crowded already, due to the lack of images. 80.229.16.243 19:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
