About

Polegate Central ward forms the main residential and commercial core of the town of Polegate within the Wealden district. The area is centred around the A27 and A22 road junction, a major transport intersection for the region. Housing consists primarily of 20th-century suburban developments, with local shops and services concentrated along the High Street. The ward includes the town's library, medical centre, and several schools, serving the daily needs of its community.

The landscape is largely urban, though the ward contains a section of the Cuckoo Trail, a popular walking and cycling route on a disused railway line. This green corridor provides a direct recreational link to Hailsham and Eastbourne. Local governance is notably active, with Polegate Town Council operating from its own offices within the ward, distinct from the broader Wealden District Council authority based in Hailsham.
