CHRISTMAS LIGHTS 2017

By

Moving on to Christmas 2017 - It might be sunny outside but now is the time for me to apply for the license for us to hang the festive lights in Waterlooville Town centre.  Dealing with Hampshire County Council and Southern Electric is a challenge!  The assurance is that they have made it easier this year.  I am unsure that is true.  Filling in a form talking about 'windage', 'eccentricity', bracket heights, bracket lows, etc, etc.  Difficult to give answers when you do not understand the questions. Finding out if we need a structural competency survey.  The list continues.  Easy it is not.  Yesterday I almost threw the PC out of the window.  In the end I sent the form to a kind person at Havant Council, who admitted she did not understand the questions either.  Made me feel better!!  At the end of the day I am a mere volunteer trying to bring Christmas to Waterlooville.  Watch for the next stage of the licensing saga!!

COMMUNITY MEETING

By
Business meetings every 2 months have been held in Waterlooville for the last year.  At the last meeting in September it was decided to open up the meetings to the local residents as well as businesses as it was an opportunity for the people who live in Waterlooville to find out more about what is going on...BAE site and leisure facilites;  Wellington Way; cycle paths; shops closing; improve pavillion in the Jubilee park  etc etc.  All those things people talk about.  Come along to the next meeting and ask those questions and push for answers.  For too long Waterlooville has been very quiet perhaps this is the time to push the council.  Your local ward councillors will be there as well as council officers and cabinet members.  The next meeting is on: MONDAY 27 NOVEMBER 6pm St Georges Church Hall  Tell your friends and bring them along

BUSINESS/COMMUNITY MEETING

By
Business/community meeting held last night. Sadly only ONE business attended and 20 residents. Even with such a poor turn out some interesting topics were discussed and it was agreed that there should be another meeting in Mid July but at 7.30pm so that more people will be able to attend. The 5.30 start had been to encourage businesses, but that obviously failed! From the meeting: Subway being repaired;Jubilee park facilities under review - A meeting to be called to discuss way forward for the park. Wellington way- discussion on lack of parking etc. Comments can still be sent to HBC until beginning of June. Remember next meeting will be mid July, Date will be well publicised with plenty of advance notice. If still a  poor turn out there will be no more!
