Having grown up in Horsham  I’ve chosen to move back here after living and working overseas and make it my home again. My local ward of Denne is a friendly and supportive community but even so, the combined effects of  Conservative austerity and economic mismanagement at national level have added to people’s challenges. We need to ensure that genuinely affordable homes are included among the many new builds planned for this ward, and that everything possible is done to maintain and improve the environment as we work toward net zero CO2.
