Twinning Initiative

A Twinning Link was established in December 2003 between Eastwood and Szolnok, Hungary. This was first suggested by Frank Grayson of Eastwood who was born in Hungary.

Szolnok has a population of 78,000 and is situated at the crossing of the Tisza and Zagyva rivers approximately 100 kilometres east of Budapest.
