Haven Visitor Centre. There is nothing new to report. Haven House is being marketed by Savills estate agents. The Titchfield Haven Community Hub trustees will be resubmitting their bid, with the additional (mainly repeat) information HCC have requested and will then await their decision.
Temporary Closure of Salterns Road. The road will be closed all day on Tuesday 7 November for hedge cutting.
M27 and A32 Temporary Closures. Just a reminder of our earlier notice that Junction 10 works have commenced and there is a programme of overnight closures between junctions 9-11 and on the A32.
Fareham Shopping Centre. As some will already know, Fareham Borough Council has bought Fareham shopping centre and several adjoining properties on West Street. The £14.25 m acquisition forms part of FBC's broader regeneration programme, which includes £16.7m for Fareham Live (replacement for Ferneham Hall) and £2.5m to replace Osborn Road multi storey car park which has reached the end of its useful life.
Vandalism at Hill Head Sailing Club. Our Councillors Kay Mandry and Steve Dugan together with the Police have met with the Club to discuss recent youth vandalism.
Dogs on the Beach. As many will already know, to protect migrating birds, dogs are now banned from the stretch of beach under the western-end beach huts with effect from 1 October until 1 April, though they can of course be walked on the promenade. To summarise for all of Hill Head: it seems most likely that that ban will continue in future years; the Salterns beach dog exclusion zone is 1 May to 30 September.
Remembrance. Our member Manon Burton and her Poppy Ladies group have again been hard at work and their decorated nets will be attached to the cenotaph hedge on 29 October. They have also made lots of poppy badges and if you know of anyone who is housebound and would like one let us know and we will pass that on to her.
The King's Coronation Bench unveiling will take place at QE2 Platinum Jubilee Park, Daedalus on 1 November.
Scams. "You have won a Nike voucher. Just click....." "Halifax" again - "We need to update your information"; looks very authentic but not personally addressed. "Halifax" yet again - "Greetings .... An update awaits you ...."; not quite so authentic-looking and clearly an inappropriate sender's address; oh, and I don't even have a Halifax account!
