We are aware there is a tree down in King's Pond. Due to its location in the water and not blocking any footpath the tree is not deemed to be unsafe. Our contractor will be there first thing Monday morning to remove it.

Thank you to all those who have reported it. It is always helpful when things are reported directly to the office as we cannot have eyes and ears everywhere. To report any issues on our open spaces please call 01420 83986 or email [email protected]. Thank you.

Thank you to Cllr Emily Young for sharing.

Hampshire County Council has launched a survey to gather feedback on where Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers should be installed. Please take a moment to complete it and share it widely with friends, neighbours, and anyone else in the area. A strong response from Alton will help demonstrate the clear need for improved EV infrastructure. Thank you.

Complete the survey here:
