Petersfield's local news

Local news for Monday 23rd June

Audrey Morton from Dementia Friendly Petersfield says this is an important opinion survey and people should not hold back from recording their view about what it is like for them if they have dementia or are caring for someone with the disease. 

She’s filling it in herself; it’s anonymous so say what you need to.

Many groups, including Dementia Friendly Petersfield, are putting it on Facebook and at meetings so all views can be collected - in writing as well as online.

Audrey says, "the front tine" - people with dementia or carers - needs to be heard but also needs to be spoken.

Hampshire County Council say:  

We want to know what matters to you – people living with dementia, families, carers and anyone with experience to share.

The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete and closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 12 April 2026.

You can use the online survey
