A HERD of up to 100 cows blocked the roads as they roamed through a busy high street last night.
Sussex Police received reports yesterday at 9.30pm that the herd had blocked Balcombe Road, Haywards Heath, as they made their way into the town.
Walking towards Haywards Heath train station, one of the cows even managed to make it onto the platform.
The others continued on their journey, making it as far as the high street.
