Improvement works currently being carried out to pedestrianised walk-ways in Horsham town centre are likely to last until November.

The works are being undertaken in the Forum Walk, West Walk and Blackhorse Way. They began in mid August and are expected to be finished within 12 weeks.

Existing paving is being replaced with new granite paving, linking West Street via West Walk south to The Forum area.

Horsham District Council has worked with West Sussex County Council to complete the improvements which will also see the Blackhorse Way pedestrian crossing renewed.
