Damian Hinds message for early February

Today marks one year since the devastating fire that swept through Lavant Street in Petersfield. In the days and months that followed, the community rallied around those affected. Businesses found temporary homes, fundraising efforts gathered pace, and local people showed the resilience and generosity that Petersfield is known for. While rebuilding continues, the spirit of the town has remained stronger than ever.

We reflect on some of our coverage from immediately after the fire and over the past year as building works progress.

Local news for Friday 3rd July

Petersfield Council's consultation to remediate the eroded Heath pathways over a few years, closes on 16 August.

They have consulted with the Friends of the Heath, the Plump Duck and the Petersfield Society but want public views - positive and negative - on the £150,000 estimated plan which will take time to fully implement.

Town Ranger Jacob Gibson talks to Mike Waddington about the consultation and getting the work done over a few years to minimise disruption and to secure funding.

He also speaks about the algae growth - under control- and the curious behavior of the terrapins.

He also reassures us that the Fairy Stump will not be affected!

The plans are on line and at the Town Hall with public information events on 13 and 15 July.

Views can be emailed to tJacob Gibson at ranger@petersfield-tc.gov.uk
