Edition: July 2025
It’s time for Billingshurst residents to have their say on new improvements.
Earlier this year, Horsham District councillors agreed to spend some £2.5million to deliver exciting new improvements for Billingshurst’s village centre, sports grounds, recreation areas and community buildings. This investment is made up of a £1million contribution from the District Council and £1.5million in developer contributions from new homes development in the village over recent years.
Which facilities do you want to see?
The Council worked with Billingshurst Parish Council and a range of local community groups on an initial survey to create a shortlist of facilities and improvements to include in our community-wide consultation.
The shortlist includes:
- Improved community meeting facilities
- Improved playing pitch surfaces
- Better facilities at Jubilee Fields such as a new pavilion and changing facilities
- Sustainable travel improvements for pedestrians and cyclists
- New and improved recreation and play spaces for children and young people.
Now it’s time for you to have your say
We now want your views on which improvements you would like to see as part of this Better Billingshurst Community Fund and Investment Programme.
The consultation is open until 21 July 2025.
What’s next
Once the consultation findings have been analysed, the recommendation for improvements will be considered by councillors and officers from Horsham District Council, Billingshurst Parish Council and Billingshurst Community Partnership with a view to begin delivering projects from autumn 2025 into 2026 and 2027.
