Key Horsham area undergoes improvement works

Horsham District Council has carried out the refurbishment in Queen Street and Queensway including tree planting, a new seating area and additional bollards.

The council says that the improvements will make it a safer area and support locally-based businesses, as well as making it more pedestrian-friendly.

Horsham District Council cabinet member for the local economy Ruth Fletcher said: “This improvement project shows our commitment to neighbouring residents and businesses of this busy area by creating a much more pleasant and safe place for people to walk through at this key entry point to Horsham town centre.
