Council monthly meeting hears petitions on fountain relocation and ground rental for Horsham Football Club. Debates uniform rent reductions, recreation reserve works, water access, and park improvements while approving street and private road projects and preparing for Oval expansion and grandstand uses.
A local council debate centers on retaining the fountain at the corner, with petitions both for its removal and to keep it in place. Horsham Football Club seeks a reduced ground rent for its recreation reserve, arguing past fairness and burdens on the council budget amid long debts and improving facilities.
Dr Menadve urged Horsham to seek state funding for an aerodrome, citing aviation as a state matter and noting £5000 recently granted to a town. Council backed a motion to represent the State Government for a grant, while the Clerk reported many site offers and planned an early aerodrome committee inspection.
The Tull council met in committee and reported plans to set back the building by eight feet from the line. The amended plan adds an upstairs lavatory and stone facade work. Net extra cost is £2500 and the alterations were approved. Old materials from the site will be sold and redistributed for other needs.
