Have your say on new ward boundaries
The independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England is drawing up plans for new ward boundaries in the area following a consultation earlier this year.
In September the commission agreed Horsham District Council should be made up of 47 councillors, three more than the current set up.

The commission is asking people for their views and will take comments on board as it publishes its draft recommendations in February 2017.
Professor Colin Mellors, chair of the commission, said: “We will consider every submission we receive from local people before we draw up draft recommendations. We will then open another phase of consultation on those proposals in February.
“Don’t miss this chance to have your say on how your council is run.”
