With the news last week that Bill's Produce have pulled out of the deal with Horsham council to buy the Old Town Hall and turn it into another restaurant, the future of the building is now in the balance again.
Public opinion was overwhelmingly in favour of keeping the building as a community resource - a community centre for the centre of the town, and a venue for local performers.
Horsham district council pushed their plans through in the face of much public opposition, making it clear that they had no intention of changing their mind.
Now there is an opportunity to re-visit the decision, with the possibility that this will still be unresolved by the time the council is up for re-election, meaning that perhaps the public will get a chance to make their views known in a way the council has to take notice of - with their ballot papers!
