Horsham District Council Chairman Cllr Tony Bevis presented certificates to three long-serving Chairmen of Horsham’s Neighbourhood Councils recently at a meeting of full Council on 29 April.
Trudie Mitchell, Chair of Denne Neighbourhood Council, Diane Sumpter, Chair of Forest Neighbourhood Council and Morag Warrack, Chair of Trafalgar Neighbourhood Council all received certificates in recognition of the many years they have served the communities of these councils.
With the creation of a new Parish Council for Horsham town in May this year, the role of the Neighbourhood Councils will be replaced.
The new Horsham Parish Council will build on the work of the Neighbourhood Councils, who have provided a community voice for local residents for over 50 years.
