Green Horsham

Jeremy Quin, Member of Parliament for Horsham, joined the new Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Secretary Steve Barclay on a visit to Weston’s Farm.

At the end of last month, the Government launched new waste reforms to make it easier for people to do the right thing, maximise use, minimise waste and drive-up recycling rates.

On Friday (27th October) Andrew Griffith MP and Jeremy Quin MP met with Lawrence Gosden, Southern Water’s Chief Executive to tour Hardham Water Supply Works.

On Friday I visited the Horsham Wastewater Treatment Works operated by Southern Water to see the £28 million upgrades to improve efficiency and control and monitoring systems.

On Wednesday 22nd March,  Jeremy Quin joined Sussex MPs to meet the Chief Executive from Southern Water (Laurence Gosden) and the Environment Agency Chief Executive (Sir James Bevan) to discuss sewage discharges into Sussex rivers and the sea.

I am regularly contacted by constituents who are keen to see a weekly local food waste collection, as am I.

I am delighted that Horsham District Council are continuing to add recycling schemes for a number of different household items.

Jeremy Quin, MP for Horsham, recently met Dan the Chief Executive of FareShare Sussex to hear about their work in the community.

It was great to visit the Knepp Castle Estate last week and hear more about the Weald to Waves project as well as the Adur River Restoration project, which has recently received funding under the first phase of the Landscape Recovery scheme.

Lovely to visit the Green Hub in the Horsham URC yesterday with a very lively discussion on local sustainability schemes ongoing alongside the repair cafe and refills. Over the road at St Johns the Fair Trade team were hard at work including advertising the November Market.
