Many thanks to everyone who attended our Annual Parish Assembly last Wednesday evening.

It was wonderful to hear from both long-established and newly formed local groups about the outstanding work they are carrying out across the parish. The evening highlighted the strength of our community spirit and the dedication of the many volunteers, organisations and residents who continue to make a positive difference locally.

The Parish Council would like to thank all those who took the time to speak about their projects, initiatives and future plans. It was encouraging to see such a wide range of activities and support available within our community.

We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead and to continuing to work alongside local groups, residents and partners to support and enhance our parish for everyone.

Many thanks to Hampshire and IOW Wildlife Trust, Shedfield Social Club, Meon Voices Choir, Shedfield Sixers, Waltham Chase Methodist Church, Waltham Chase Village Hall, Shedfield ACSO, Trust 2000, Waltham Wolves and The Shedfield Women's Institute

An amazing achievement congratulations both!

Super proud of Swanmore ACSO and Whiteley ACSO on being invited to this year's Royal Garden Party. An event hosted by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace to recognise outstanding public service and to celebrate individuals for their positive impact on communities. We hope you enjoy every moment.

We have been made aware of residents’ concerns surrounding the building works taking place opposite the Anatolian Restaurant. A member of the SPC has been to the site and can confirm this is a government project being completed by Scottish & Southern Energy.
The Project is to improve the electrical infrastructure for the area over the next three years. After completion the land will be returned to agricultural.
In a short while Scottish & Southern Energy will hold a consultation with the community. SPC councillors will be taking an active role in liaising with Scottish & Southern Energy during this time.
Our area is prone to power cuts and hopefully the infrastructure project will improve the supply.

from Wi******er City Council:

Please tell us what matters to you

The UK Government has asked councils across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to develop proposals for replacing the current council arrangements (where there is Hampshire County Council and your city, district or borough councils delivering different services) and create new unitary councils who deliver both.

A group of 12 of the 15 councils in our area are now working together on options for reorganisation that build on what makes our communities unique - while making services efficient and future-proof.
