Storefront improvement grants for Haywards Heath businesses
Grape & Grain and Fine Baps, both in The Broadway, will each receive £4,000 from the council’s Storefront Improvement Grant Scheme. The money was approved at a meeting of the cabinet grants panel on Tuesday (February 25).
Fine Baps, a takeaway coffee and sandwich shop, will use the money to replace its ‘outdated’ signage and awning along with its wooden facade.

Hide AdGrape & Grain, an independent wine and deli store, will also update its signage as well as replacing the shop window and redesigning the forecourt to include a wheelchair ramp.
A report to the panel said the business would use local suppliers to carry out the work, wherever possible.
The grants scheme is funded by £21,000 from West Sussex County Council. These latest bids leave Mid Sussex with £3,710 in the pot.
Vice-chairman Stephen Hillier: “I’m very happy with this. It’s good stuff and I look forward to hearing how the money is spent – it’s a very good scheme.”
