A taste of the Petersfield Community Fair from those who were there

There is good news for residents of Pulens Lane and Durford Road.

Hampshire County Council gave the go ahead for safety road improvements at the Durford Road crossroads last month. The work is due to start in October of this year.

Meanwhile what about the speeding in the High Street at night, is there a solution?

This was a question raised by Shine Radio for our County Councillors, Nick Drew and David Podger.

Is it a case for everyone working together to have a solution, or more drastic measures such as closing the High Street to traffic.
