Horsham District Council is inviting residents, businesses and visitors to share their feedback on suggested exciting new improvements to the Bishopric, Worthing Road and Carfax areas of Horsham town centre.
This is a great opportunity to shape a major re-design of our town centre.
The Council is preparing to significantly invest in the design and build of the Bishopric improvements within the next two years.
It is also looking for feedback on the design of improvements to the Carfax area in order to secure grant funding to invest in this area at a later date.
The range of improvements under consideration include:
- Creating a better environment for active travel which will encourage people to walk and cycle more
- Improving safety for all users; pedestrians, cyclists and those who are mobility impaired
- Improvements to street furniture and way finding signage.
- Improvements and renewal of facilities to support street markets and outdoor events
- Providing new urban green space with new plants and trees for the benefit of both people and wildlife.
You can learn more about the proposed designs across all areas and access our survey for your feedback on our Consultations page.
The survey will be live from Wednesday 9 April to Wednesday 30 April.
You can speak with us directly, as we are hosting two face to face drop-in sessions where you can see our exhibition, ask questions and share ideas.
These will take place on Wednesday 16 April from 10.30 am to 3.30pm and Saturday 26 April 10.30am to 3.30pm in Unit 60 in Swan Walk Shopping Centre in Horsham which is located next to the D&D Café, near Sports Direct.
Commenting on the Vision, Director of Place, Barbara Childs said:
I am excited about the proposed improvements and urge everyone to share their views with us to ensure they meet everyone’s needs and new ideas can be taken on board.
The infrastructure improvements aim to promote a sustainable environment, better access and a thriving economy for Horsham.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of our much-loved town centre.
