Community Governance Review Consultation Now Open in the Horsham District

A consultation on the Community Governance Review (CGR) for the whole district is now open and residents are encouraged to take part. This review looks at how local communities are represented and whether changes should be made to parish boundaries, governance arrangements, or local representation.

This is an important opportunity for everyone to have a say in how their local area is structured and represented.

What is the Community Governance Review?

A Community Governance Review is a process led by Horsham District Council to consider whether existing parish arrangements still reflect local communities effectively. It can result in recommendations such as:

• Changes to parish boundaries

• Creation or merging of parish areas

• Adjustments to how communities are represented locally
