Never has it felt so important for us as a council to communicate with our residents than during these challenging times. Thank you for signing up to our email newsletters and visiting our website for updates.

In this edition we are sharing articles to highlight the support and advice available to residents and local businesses at this time, and how we have adapted our services to meet your needs. We are also sharing features on activities we will have to look forward to in the future.

It brings details of our district-wide Community Volunteer Hubs and how to contact them, as well as information about the financial support and practical help we have available to local businesses.

It also updates you on the progress of our Local Plan development, invites you to an online tour of our Horsham Museum and Art Gallery and brings details of our actions to reduce our carbon footprint and protect and enhance our District’s local wildlife.

Please take care, look out for your neighbours, follow the government guidance and stay safe.
