The traders transfered to the rear 10/25/2016 9:37 PM of the Pires Place car park have been severely disadvantaged. 6 Farmers market - all in one place, not tucked away in Pires Place 10/25/2016 9:13 PM 7 find another route for large HGV vehicles avoiding the low bridge in Queen Street. They should not come through the 10/22/2016 6:07 PM town. They get behind the station ie Station Rd/oakhill rd, get lost, miss the direction sign go down Clarence Road, can't get down elm Grove turn around and go back. Divert to the bypass. Lorries getting bigger and bigger. 8 Pavements bad in the Bishopric and Denne Road. 10/15/2016 12:35 PM 9 Cxx 10/9/2016 3:21 PM 10 Open spaces 10/8/2016 9:10 PM 11 Cycle paths to be separated and continuous, not squeezed into a space which is too narrow or ending abruptly along a 10/6/2016 8:16 PM road. 12 We need dedicated cycle ways especially as new wheelchair and pedalists are soon to take to the roads, they are 10/3/2016 10:29 AM wider and far more vulnerable also slower to maneuver. 13 The rapid expansion of Horsham and the increasing density of the population, particularly in the centre of town, near 9/30/2016 11:57 PM the station, where I live, is a matter of concern to me. There is no adequate supermarket on the east side of town or in the town centre. This means we have to travel (by car) to the west side of town, where there are four major supermarkets -- Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Morrison's and Tesco's at Broadbridge Heath, which causes more congestion. The answer, in my view, is not to build more car parks. I would propose more hop-on, hop off buses around the town. The (hourly) bus that used to run along Clarence Road, for example, was axed last year without notice, leaving one of my neighbours, for example, totally housebound. The only way she can get to Horsham Hospital or into town is by taxi. The Horsham area also urgently needs a larger hospital. Redhill is simply too far away and too difficult to get to by public transport. And how is it supposed to cope with the ongoing influx of residents to the area? 14 More entertainment. What we have is poor compared to crawley Guildford and even worthing. Such facilities could be 9/30/2016 12:14 AM ice skating. Multiplex cinema or even a decent bawling allay 15 Public realm including landscaping 9/29/2016 4:01 PM 16 Many new homes are being built in and around Horsham. I am concerned about stress on the general infrastructure, 9/29/2016 3:05 PM particularly the availability of doctors, dentists and schools. 2 / 137 Horsham Blueprint Residents' Survey 17 Speed restrictions in areas where there are schools e.g. Comptons Lane where there is a 30 mph limit and people do 9/28/2016 7:51 PM not adhere to this. 18 There needs to be a bus direct from Horsham to East Surrey Hospital. 9/28/2016 5:00 PM 19 pedestrian walkways now littered with "A" boards. why can they not be banned outright. 9/28/2016 3:21 PM 20 Nature reserves Cycle networks that don't mix with cars. I don't cycle as it's not safe but would if it was more like 9/28/2016 11:40 AM some towns and cities. Local health and caring services are limited. 21 Retail facilities that the expanding population of Horsham (following a large number of new houses) are going to need. 9/28/2016 11:26 AM Why do we see so many empty shop units in Horsham town centre...greedy landlords (unaffordable rents?) or too tight controls on new retail ventures? 22 Horsham is choking on traffic, especially at peak times. Unless there is a big effort to develop public transport, 9/27/2016 9:18 PM Horsham will suffocate and lose what makes it a pleasant place to live. 23 have a parkour should be provided for in Horsham. as it will be an Olympic sport, consideration should be given to 9/27/2016 9:33 AM promoting a Horsham Team and facisham the centre for a changelities should be constructed to enable training. Make Horsham a centre for a change 24 Horsham needs good connected cycle paths, at the moment the routes are not actually ridable as in various places 9/25/2016 8:26 PM they just stop and force you to get off the bike and walk, this means they are unusable in my view. 25 -I really strongly would like street lamps be kept on later at night in the streets adjacent to Oakhill Road (or alternate 9/25/2016 1:32 PM street lamps kept on) -we need more doctors. Park Surgery seems too stretched, it's extremely difficult to get a non- emergency appointment. -parking in the town centre is now too expensive, please bring back free parking on Sundays 26 -I really strongly would like street lamps be kept on later at night in the streets adjacent to Oakhill Road (or alternate 9/25/2016 1:31 PM street lamps kept on) -we need more doctors.

I am appalled at the lack of 9/24/2016 9:43 PM drive & parking spaces being allocated to new properties. Please accept we are living in the 21st century & to enable the majority of us to work, it is imperative we have a vehicle to accommodate that. Not prioritising sufficient parking totally ignores the future frustrations & conflicts that will ensue. I hold the council accountable for this 100%, as it is the council which gives planning permission. I would like to see immediate action with regard to this, as there are a lot of houses being built. I suspect it's maximum build of houses, for maximum profit to all parties. That is not in the spirit of community. 29 Health provision, develop Horsham hospital on Hurst Road sites. 9/24/2016 3:16 PM 30 Green spaces, good schools 9/23/2016 3:33 PM 31 Bridleways and traffic calming on roads that horse riders have no choice but to use. 9/23/2016 1:27 PM 32 We would like a decent cycle park from southwater to town. 9/23/2016 8:29 AM 33 Maintenance of green space and conservation 9/22/2016 7:05 PM 34 I have lived in Redford Ave for 11 years and the traffic has now become extremely busy ,with lorries and cars speeding 9/22/2016 10:43 AM most of the time . Speed cameras and calming would be helpful for this residential road with many elderly living in it . 35 Have less car parking in town 9/21/2016 3:42 PM 36 Better floral displays along West Street. Improved lighting around the new planted area where the Shelleyfountain 9/20/2016 7:58 PM used to be at the bottom end of West Street. 37 maternity unit at the hospital 9/20/2016 5:49 PM 38 Cycling should not be allowed on pavements where roads are safe to cycle on. 9/20/2016 5:44 PM 39 Take measures to stop speeding and other dangerous behaviour by cyclists on shared foot/cycle ways, as is common 9/19/2016 5:09 PM elsewhere. 40 Traffic wardens to deal with parking on double yellow lines in the Bishopric. 9/19/2016 3:53 PM 41 P 9/18/2016 2:48 PM 42 Local shops within new developments 9/18/2016 1:35 PM 3 / 137 Horsham Blueprint Residents' Survey 43 Management of development, not resistance but ensuring developments are well designed, appropriate and meet the 9/18/2016 1:00 PM needs of the community not the developer's balance sheet.
