Wayfinding
As part of the Delivering Change in Horley town centre programme, 15 map-based wayfinding signs have been installed at key town centre locations including the High Street, train station, car parks, the footbridge between the High Street and Station Approach and on Victoria Road to help pedestrians navigate around the town and its facilities.
Improvements to Central Car Park
The improvement works to Horley Central Car Park are now complete. The works to improve the appearance and accessibility of the car park included line marking, pedestrian routes, resurfacing of the access road, installation of larger parking bays for families, new trees and shrubs. Electric vehicle charging points have been installed and are available for public use.
Electrical charging points, pedestrian paths and planting
Initial project proposals included the installation of pay-on-exit car parking in Central Car Park and Victoria Road Car Park. However, the Council refocused the project to civil and landscaping improvements in Central Car Park that could deliver similar benefits to pay-on-exit parking, especially when considered alongside the existing RingGo provision, that enables users to extend parking sessions via mobile devices without needing to return to their vehicles.
Enhancements that have been delivered include demarcation of pedestrian routes, resurfacing of the car park access road, line marking and introducing large bays (for families) and planting. Electrical charging points (in four parking bays) have been installed and are open to the public.
