Hide AdMrs Rowbottom said: “I am deeply honoured to be elected chairman of Horsham District Council for the coming civic year.
“We all know how special the Horsham district is with its beautiful countryside and South Downs and our historic market towns and villages. It’s the envy of every other district.
“I look forward over the coming year to meeting as many people as possible across the district – those who work tirelessly in the voluntary sector and in support of our local community groups, those who provide jobs and work here, and those who study, teach and live here.”
