Changes to doorstep collections by HDC

Horsham District Council is changing how it will collect textiles, small electrical goods and coffee pods from residents’ doorsteps in the future.

From 4 September 2026 the Council will partner with Anglo Doorstep Collections, a national reuse doorstep collection organisation, to continue its free of charge doorstep collection service of small electricals, textiles and additional reusable items from residents.

The free of charge service provides residents with an improved doorstep service, which enables a greater range of items to be put out for reuse, whilst also ensuring that the Council is saving money and resources.

Future of North Horsham Parish Council to be decided by Horsham District Council

At an Extraordinary Meeting of North Horsham Parish Council on 30th July, Members discussed Horsham District Council’s Community Governance Review consultation that is currently underway.

The consultation includes two options for North Horsham residents:

Option 1 : To merge with Horsham Town Council

Option 2 : Horsham Town Council and North Horsham Parish Council to remain separate with alterations to the northern and southern boundaries of North Horsham parish.

Parish Council Members voted unanimously to support Option 2 of the consultation which they believe would be in the interests of the local, North Horsham community.

The consultation is open until 7th September, and all residents are urged to submit their responses to the consultation which will shape the future of local councils in Horsham. For further information, including how to respond, visit HDC’s website at :
