Residents invited to share views on Horsham town centre
Local businesses, organisations and residents are invited to come along to one of the surgeries and share their views on the town centre with Helena Croft (Con, Roffey North).
Mrs Croft is leading on developing Horsham District Council’s Town Centre Strategy and actions to build on Horsham town’s success as a place in which time is truly well spent.

The next surgery will take place on Thursday July 25 from 11:30am – 1:30pm in the Hurst Room in Horsham Museum and Art Gallery, in The Causeway.
The remaining surgery dates for 2013 are as follows:
Thursday July 25
Thursday September 26
Thursday November 28
These surgeries fall on the fourth Thursday every other month. Anyone can drop in to the sessions on the day on a first come, first served basis. Issues that were raised at some of the surgeries earlier this year include planning issues on town developments - these were referred to the appropriate officers and, where appropriate, raised with local council members.
Some people who were thinking of opening new businesses went along wanting some background information on which to base their own strategy and they were given information and contacts that they could follow up on.
