As most will know I am highly passionate about the area of North Horsham where I have lived for the last 22 years, North Horsham consists of the divisions/wards of Roffey and Holbrook; in hindsight in my exuberance to work for and represent my constituents my passion may have got the better of me.

I have apologised to the WSCC Cabinet Member for Highways for the wording I used in a recent NHPC meeting, but with that apology I did say I was not sorry for the sentiment that I expressed and I stand by that and this apology.

In future I will be as committed in my approach; I will continue to seek for the residents of Roffey and North Horsham the resources that I believe our area requires; I will just have to try and rein-back on the passion bit!

I still believe that there are a number of roads in Roffey in particular that have not had the appropriate level of investment awarded to them for a good number of years, and considering that they are arterial routes/bus routes are in a shocking state of repair.

Lastly, I trust with my enthusiasm I have not harmed Roffey’s future chances of that much overdue investment.

JIM RAE

(Con) West Sussex county councillor for Roffey division and Horsham district councillor for Holbrook East, North Street, Horsham
