Summary
#68 of 69

Horsham District Council has passed 1 plant-based food transition action. Many actions have been discussed but not formally decided — a gap between proposals and delivery. Insufficient public-facing documents to assess communications vs delivery alignment. No public forum or petition data found — pressure cannot be assessed. The trajectory is stable — the rate of supporting decisions has not changed significantly.
