At a meeting of full Council held on 22 February 2023, Horsham District Council (HDC) set the Council’s financial and capital budget for the coming financial year, which starts in April.

Last year HDC replaced all the lights in its multi-storey car parks with LED lighting. By replacing the 387 lights in Swan Walk car park this reduced the Council’s carbon emissions by nearly 19,000kg a year, as well as saving around £11,000 in energy bills.

Horsham District Council recognised one year since start of Ukrainian invasion.

Councilors have supported the increase to the on-the-spot fines for dropping litter on streets and verges from £75 to £150 from 1 February 2023.

Conservative run Horsham District Council (HDC) has reduced its direct carbon footprint by some 57% since 2019/20, when it committed to being carbon neutral by 2030. This equates to approximately 1,300 less tonnes of carbon being emitted.

In light of the recent announcement by the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Michael Gove MP, the Conservative Group at Horsham District Council (HDC) have taken the decision to pause HDC’s Local Plan before moving on to the next stage.

Your Councillors supported the ongoing use of Horsham District Council’s powers to tackle the cost of living crisis for local residents.
