Welcome to the Summer 2022 edition

Edition: Summer 2022

After a challenging couple of years I believe we have turned a corner and now have a lot to look forward to in our District.

We continue to make great progress in tackling climate change locally.

This edition features how our local communities are using the Council’s climate funding across a range of projects to improve biodiversity, and our Wilder Horsham District initiative is helping farmers and landowners deliver nature recovery networks.

Our Neighbourhood Wardens have switched to hybrid vehicles, we have a new eco-friendly community hall, and electric charge points are being installed in Council-owned car parks.

We also feature some key schemes to help you meet rising energy prices. This edition also highlights how the issue of water neutrality is creating a pause in new home development, and the actions we are taking to combat this problem.

We are also celebrating Horsham Park winning a national Bees’ Needs award for its pollinator planting.

With best wishes,

Councillor Jonathan Chowen, Leader
