Petersfield's local news

Local news for Monday 6th July

Nine year old collie, Peggy Sue, is on her last agility season this year. 

Owner, Rachel Williams took some time out from organising the Agility trials at Dogs Day Out in Hampshire to talk about the sport in general and Peggy Sue's career. 

Rachel is interesting on the working urge in collies - Peggy Sue will retire from agility, but she has no plans to stop. She's also bringing on her younger puppy, Brie, whose parents are both working farm dogs.

She also explains why this sport - seen at the highest levels at Crufts and international competitions - remains highly accessible to any dog and handler with a close relationship and a liking for activity. 

It's accessible to all - from kids to really quite old (!), and all breeds can participate from toy poodles to malinois.

Recorded at Dogs Day Out, 2026 in East Worldham, Hampshire.

Peggy Sue, the veteran agility dog and an overview of agility as a sport

On Friday 3 July, Agencies Working Together marked going into its 10 year with a face to face meeting, with hot drinks and doughnuts.

There are around 40 organisations who attend this voluntary network to share information and find out what  others are doing and how they can help each other.

AT every meeting one organisation leads off; this one heard the latest from Lucia Smith from Home Start Butser. 

The coordinator, Steve Field (a volunteer) talks too Mike Waddington about the network - its origns and use now (they are currently working together around how to  on combatting loneliness).

We hear from organisations there and Isobel Gibbins from the Free shop and Mary Vincent from the Goodyear Foundation (going for a couple of centuries now!)

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.
