The area in West Street was planted with birch trees after the fountain - formally known as the Rising Universe sculpture - was removed two years ago.
Last week screens went up around the area as council workmen erected the fencing.

Last month members of the town watchdog group, The Horsham Society, called for an ‘imaginative plan’ to be drawn up for the area as part of improvement proposals aimed at ‘putting the pride back in Horsham.’
