Quote from current article (as of 3/1/07); There is currently much controversy over the sale of Hailsham Cattle Market and its redevelopment into a supermarket. Hailsham was originally granted its charter for a market in 1252 by Henry III. The market is one of few remaining cattle markets along the south coast, and if closed, would probably be a great loss to the town. The local MP, Charles Hendry, has got involved and is fighting to keep the market open.
While I agree this is certainly a local issue at present, to me, it doesent seem to 'fit' in a factually based encyclopedia such as this one. The planned Tesco development is just as controversial, yet it isn't mentioned in the article - thoughts, anybody? Muchclag 20:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Aldi's plans for the cattle market have been turned down, as reported in Sussex express 23rd Nov 2007 http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/Final-blow-for-supermarket-bid.3517667.jp does anyone want to update the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsx geoff ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Is this still an issue in the town? I think some redevleopment is needed on this particular part of the page. -- Frontier219 ( talk) 22:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I have reorganised the article as per comments on my Talk Page . Muchclag ( talk) 15:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Tidying up the Railway section, I struggled to understand the closure sequence. I would suggest the first two paragraphs needs a slight revamping, putting into a more chronological order. At the moment it mentions the 1968 closure, then the 1965 closure, and finally back again to the 1968. MortimerCat ( talk) 00:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements I have concluded that the main sections we are missing are: History, Governance, Geography, Demography. Additionally, the lead section needs expanding. I will start on the Governance section.
The Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements gives a good summary of the Manual of style which we should be following. Citing sources is important, especially if we want GA status. The rule is nothing to be added without a citation mainly because facts without citations get removed prior to GA accreditation.
Good luck! MortimerCat ( talk) 21:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
A terribly easy thing to say, and always making it sound as though people are flocking to London! The website here, whilst agreeing that there are commuters, says that "some" go to London, others to "nearby towns" (Brighton, Eastbourne, maybe Hastings, I suspect). Peter Shearan ( talk) 10:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the statement since no-one has yet supported it. 217.42.140.79 ( talk) 14:10, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Hailsham is near the junction of two major roads, The A22 road to Eastbourne and Crowborough and the A27 South Coast Trunk Road.

Forgive a comment on an otherwise good article, but the first line of the first para either contains redundancy or needs clarification. It says Hailsham is "the largest of the five main towns in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England" without further qualification. Surely "the largest town in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England" is sufficient. It would perhaps be useful to list the other top-five towns. Thanks! p.r.newman ( talk) 13:48, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Sounds fun, but maybe there should be some refs? There was some activity in this part of Sussex during the baronial wars and in the armed rivalry between Matilda and Stephen, the castle at Pevensey being garrisoned and held by opposing sides. SovalValtos ( talk) 20:50, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
No amount of editing will make an off topic section relevant. Incomprehensible nonsense also needs removing, particularly nonsense unsupported by refs. SovalValtos ( talk) 16:04, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
