Local news for Wednesday 11th November

People will see the large fenced off area of the Heath where, Town Ranger Jacob Gibson explains, the topsoil has been scraped away to stimulate heather growth.

Jacob talks to Mike Waddington about helping the Heath recover and that needs heather, stirring the deeps and treading very carefully. And it will take time to allow nature to perform its wondrous work.

He also talks about other work underway, the walkways around the Plump Duck and why a cull, as some have suggested, is not on the cards.

Darren 'Daz' Hare, held the Royal British Legion's Standard in front of the War Memorial on the High Street as the Reverend Will Hughes led a brief service to mark Armistice Day, "when the guns fell silent."

Local RBL Chairman, James Deane, said this is a more personal part of remembrance after Sunday's massive event.

About 100 people, including Petersfield's Mayor, Councillor Jamie Matthews, attended in the rain, amidst veterans, community groups and businesses who marked the Two Minutes Silence by joining on both sides of the High Street.

St Laurence's Church on Station Road holds a Welcome Cafe open to all on the second Tuesday of every month, from 2pm, for company, music and talks over tea, coffee and cake.

This month the speaker was Sue Tunstall talking about her 40 year of dream of going to the Cook Islands in the Pacific; she and her husband Mike finally visited in May

Mike Waddington speaks to Sue and Mike about it and the Cafe organiser Bernard Elkington (with his dogs who attend as well.)

The Hall behind the Church itself has two historic plaques on its walls; one from the renovating builders in 1902 and another listing people jailed for their faith in Winchester prison in 1582, including a score or so from Petersfield.
