Horley Open Gardens – funds raised

Over £1800 was raised for Katharine House Hospice from the Horley Open Gardens event last Sunday. A huge thank you to the Horley gardeners who tended and opened their beautiful gardens, and to everyone who supported the event by coming along to visit them.

Car Parking Planning Application

Horley Views magazine is dropping through your letterbox this weekend. On page 21 is an item the Parish Council would urge you to read.

There is  a new planning application for car parking at the bottom of the village.  The application can now be found on the planning portal of Cherwell District Council at:

https://planningregister.cherwell.gov.uk

by searching “Horley” or the application reference number, which is 22/01653/F .  You can then access plans and other documents.

It is important that villagers make their views known about this application online.

David Reynolds is also happy to help anyone who is not confident with putting their comments online and he is on 01295738125 or at Brantwood House in Gulliver’s Close.
