Commenting on the awards scheme Horsham District Council Leader and Cabinet Member Cllr Jonathan Chowen said:
I am thrilled that the Horsham District has done so well in these nationally recognised awards. We have been shortlisted with only two other areas in England, so this is a major achievement.
It pays tribute to all the hard work that our local towns and businesses have put in recently to support local enterprise.
I believe the importance of our local towns has never been more apparent than during the pandemic and that as a district we have nurtured the perfect combination of business, leisure and commerce to help us thrive.
Do please vote for your District to get it over the line to become the outright winner!
