Horsham animal charity relocation plan rejected by council
The LDRS reported more than 170 people objected to the plans, with concerns including danger to pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders and residents and increased traffic along the area's narrow lanes.Liberal Democrat councillor Alex Jeffery, representing Southwater South and Shipley, said the rescue centre had done "fantastic work" for the community but "emotive arguments shouldn't override material planning considerations".Had the plans been approved, the development would have included a house for the owner and staff, a stable building, a two-bay garage, an animal rescue building, and an education block.

Shower Curtain & Liner These collect mildew and soap scum but are often overlooked. Wash or replace them regularly to keep your bathroom fresh. Toothbrush Holder One of the germiest places in the bathroom, filled with bacteria and toothpaste residue. Rinse and disinfect it weekly. Dishwasher Filter Food particles and grease build up, leading to unpleasant smells and reduced efficiency. Remove and clean the filter every few weeks. Washing Machine Seal The rubber gasket traps mould, mildew, and detergent buildup. Wipe it down with white vinegar and leave the door open to air dry. Light Switches and Remote Controls Touched daily but rarely cleaned, making them germ hotspots. Wipe them down with disinfectant regularly. Under the Sofa Cushions Crumbs, dust, and even lost items hide in the cracks. Remove the cushions and vacuum thoroughly. Kitchen Sink & Plughole Food residue builds up, causing bad odours. Pour boiling water, bicarbonate of soda, and vinegar down the drain to freshen it. Ceiling Fans Dust piles up on the blades and gets redistributed into the air when turned on. Use a microfibre cloth or pillowcase to clean them easily. Doormats They trap dirt and bacteria from shoes but are rarely washed or vacuumed. Shake them out weekly and deep clean them every month.

One person had taken to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group on Facebook to ask for advice, writing: "I'm going to try bleach on these stubbornly stained white t-shirts and socks. "They all have a little different coloured logo on them though. "Can I still use it?" People quickly took to the comments section to offer their own suggestions, with many recommending Napisan. "I would avoid using bleach," one wrote. "I used it on school shirts and it turned them yellow I had to bin them. "I would try Napisan." "I would recommend Napisan," another commented. "Bleach used to be my go-to until it turned my socks and a top yellow. "Napisan is amazing, doesn't affect other colours and works so much better than bleach." Manufacturers recommend adding two tablespoons of Napisan alongside your regular detergent in the wash for the best results. You can even wash at 30 degrees with Napisan. It works to remove stains by releasing active oxygen, which also kills germs - which is why so many parents use it to get rid of marks on their kids' clothes. For more intense stains, mix 60g of Napisan with four litres of water and soak the stained items in there for six hours. Then wash as normal.
