My wife and I eat out a lot in Horsham (at least once a week). I think East Street is already a good environment for diners. The recently refurbished Tortellini's is a good example of this. It was very quite immediately after the work was finished but word has spread and it is now packed on weekend evenings. The other restaurants are equally pleasant and equally busy. Does it really need improving? I am not sure. I am all for new dinning areas in Horsham but I think the Forum would probably be better area to develop.:discuss:</FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV><DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What also bothers me is the fact that the cycle lane may be removed. I and many other cyclists use this regularly. When I cycle from Southwater to Horsham via Peddlars Way and Denne Road it is my main route into town. In these environmentally aware time surely we should be trying to improve facilities for cyclists not removing them.:discuss:</FONT></DIV>Sat, 25 Feb 2006 13:04:33 GMTDotNetWebs
