The schedule is as follows:

• Monday 15th June:
Lift out of action on Floor 1 (Levels 1/2) for 1 day.
• Tuesday 16th June:
Lift out of action on Floor 2 (Levels 3/4) for 1 day.
• Wednesday 17th June:

During the works, the main car park stairwell on the affected floors will be inaccessible. Access from these floors will be via an alternative stairwell, not the main stairwell.

During these periods, access may be limited. If you require lift access, it may be advisable to use an alternative car park.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding while these essential works are carried out.

When emojis don’t mean what you think they mean… 😬We asked a group of parents what they really think these emojis mean to young people.

Knowing how young people communicate matters more than ever. That's why you should sign up to our 2026 Growing Your Teenager course!

Growing Your Teenager is a free course for parents in the Horsham District with children starting secondary school in September 2026.

Learn about communication, boundaries, anxiety, self-esteem, online safety and more delivered with support from Sussex Police and West Sussex County Council.
