The Census figures show that the population growth for England is 6.6 per cent and for the South East 7.5 per cent.

The figures for Horsham district show an alarming growth of 11.8 per cent.

This shows what we have long suspected, that this area is taking far more than it's fair share of population increase.

Unfortunately for us, coastal towns cannot expand southwards, and other places are limited by the South Downs, but that is no reason why Horsham should be dumped on, just because London is becoming intolerable.
