East Hampshire District Council have in recent days clarified their position relating to letters of objection for planning applications in light of the "one response per household" debate that has been well publicised locally and in the press over recent weeks.

If you are planning to respond to a planning application, reading this article first is highly recommended.

During the recent weeks, there have been an increasing number of cases of vandalism and theft within the village.

This matter has been discussed at length with Lucy Ryan, the village constable. We have been asked to ensure that every incident is reported to the police, either via the 0845 045 45 45 number or 101 as appropriate, alternately via e-mail (click on Lucy's name above)

DEFRA have published an update relating to the South Downs National Park and are currently in a public consultation process which runs until the 13th of August - have your say !

Full information can be found here.

Following from the monthly increases in utilisation of this web site, we have upgraded to a larger system, so hopefully the speed issues seen on the site have now been resolved.

On average, we display 45,000 pages to various people in the month.
Thankyou for the support you are giving this site !
