We are disappointed to find this morning that the hoop from one of the netball posts from the MUGA is missing.

We are unsure what anyone would need it for, so are going to assume it is just mindless vandalism.

We would be grateful for its return before having to use taxpayer’s money replacing it.

Sad but true.

Probably the last thing on your minds with the heat of today, but help is available from Hampshire County Council if you're likely to struggle this Winter.

Do you heat your home using heating oil? 🔥

A reminder that we’re working with Citizens Advice East Hampshire to support Hampshire residents who rely on heating oil and are struggling with increased costs.

As well as help towards the cost of heating oil for eligible residents, Citizens Advice can also provide general advice on managing energy costs and wider finances.

This support is part of the Crisis Resilience Fund, which helps households facing financial pressure with essential costs.

Find out more, see if you’re eligible and apply by visiting the link in the comments.
