BAE SITE CONSULTATION FORUM

By
Image result for BAE site Waterlooville


I went along to The Plaza Council offices last week where the  consultation forum regarding the former BAE site was held.  There was a presentation by the developers showing their hopes for the future of the site.  One of their assurances was that 39000sq ft had been assigned for leisure facilities.  They were actively 'casting their net' to get interest.  Many in the audience expressed their scepticism that the developers were searching hard enough.  If leisure is wanted and not more retail then the residents of Waterlooville will have to fight for it.

There was a promise that the next public consultation will be held in Waterlooville.  Watch for the dates.

SUMMER FETE SUCCESS

By
The sun shone and the families came to see the 80 stalls, arena events, animals, dog show, horse and carriage, etc etc.  What a fabulous day.  Being a volunteer with Waterlooville Events team it was an exhausting day but also had a sense of satisfaction that we had achieved it for another year.  The day started at 7am to put up our gazebo, then getting the toilets in place and then the stalls on the field.  It calmed until we had to get them off at the end of the day.  So home at 5pm for relaxation. 18 volunteers ran the day.  Many before hand - booking stalls;  organising arena;  doing the relevant paperwork with various authorities; finding the funding; etc etc. What we need are more volunteers.  Why don't you help.  Many hands make light work!!  Be an elf in the xmas grotto, or even be a santa!!  Why not help with the Xmas event??   or help us with the brand new event in May  Waterlooville Carnival in the...

FESTIVE LIGHTS, NONE FOR WATERLOOVILLE!

By
Some of you may have read previous blogs as I have tried to work my way through the bureaucracy of licensing and installation for festive lights in the town centre.  In fairness the paperwork has been easier (was started in JUNE!) mainly because a lovely lady called Katie in Havant Borough Council has been helping me. So why am I saying there will be no festive lights in Waterlooville this year?  Scottish and Southern Electrics SSE!!   We have to get permission to hang the motifs from their lighting columns (also know as lamp posts!)  To do that we have to get an installer approved by them!! Our installer from last year retired and we had to find a new one.  To hang, plug in and flick a switch on  8 motifs, put the lights in the Xmas tree, plug in and flick a switch, and also hang some battery powered lights in the trees (and remove)   Our first quote COST £3500  Which we felt was excessive. We did find a local installer, Cl...
