Horsham District Council has given the go-ahead for the village’s library car park to be resurfaced with new drainage, lighting and landscaping installed. Enabling works will also be carried out for electric vehicle charging points. The works are being funded by income the council has received from its annual parking disc/permit scheme introduced in 2017. Horsham Council’s cabinet member for the local economy Paul Clarke said: “This particular car park serves a large majority of the village’s visitors on a daily basis and is often the first place that visitors to the village see, so it important that it provides a good impression.” The car park will be completely closed from January 18 until around March 5 to allow the works to go ahead. The council says alternative parking is available in Coopers Way which is opposite the library car park. Existing season ticket holders can also park in Coopers Way where their tickets will be valid during the works, the council says.
