The roads are frantically busy all day every day; it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment; parking at Horsham Hospital is almost impossible; there are parked cars everywhere; the buses are packed.

And what of the commuters’ cars now blocking for a considerable distance half of the busy Rusper Road all day long, do they not create a traffic hazard?

If West Sussex must have thousands of new houses, surely we should have started a new town, with its own facilities, instead of monstrously overloading those already existing.

I believe objections to a new town focused on the need to preserve some people’s views of ‘glorious Sussex’; surely it is time to look again at the idea of a new town before Horsham is ruined.
