Town Council Meeting

With elections for Andover's new council just around the corner we're being asked how to make it work.

A meeting is being held next week with the aim of gathering ideas and people to make sure the new authority is a success.

Test Valley granted the town its own parish council at the end of last year after a three year campaign for it.

The meeting starts at the Guildhall at 7.30pm next Thursday.

Crime Prevention Roadshow

Officers based in North West Hampshire are giving us the opportunity to learn how to protect ourselves from crime.

A roadshow's being held at the Wickes store in Andover tomorrow (Saturday) between 10am and 4pm.

There'll be chances to pick up free advice from the Safer Neighbourhoods team and they'll be on hand next Thursday the 18th too.

Gill Nethercott Centre

The grounds of a community facility in Whitchurch are set for a makeover after complaints about its appearance.

The Gill Nethercott Centre in Winchester Road is a little overgrown at the moment so Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council are going in to make improvements.

They'll be clearing the area over the next few weeks, putting down bark chips and planting a willow tree, before they put up signs explaining to visitors about the kinds of wildlife that can be found on the site.

Eventually, there'll also be new pathways and a place where people can watch birds and other animals in their natural habitat.
