Consultations and Engagement
Our mission is to make Horsham District a great place to live, work, and visit. Resident and service user feedback plays a vital role in shaping our policies and services.
Through consultations, we invite you to share your thoughts and experiences. Your input helps us identify what’s working well and where improvements can be made. We carefully consider all feedback alongside other factors such as legislation, available resources, environmental impacts, and diverse community views. After decisions are made, we publish the outcomes on this webpage.
Current and closed consultations
