Local news for Friday 6th March

Sarah Walsh and Geoff Wotton are raising funds to send musical instruments donated by Rocksteady in Liphook, to a school in Jamaica, in an area badly damaged by Hurricane Melissa.

On Tuesday 2 March,  Annie Jones provided the venue free, local stores donated food, 60 people attended and £1,100 was raised. 

With the £700 they had raised beforehand they are almost at their £2000 target (there is a just giving page - see below.)

Shine Radio's Joffe Lacey, as it happens on the losing team that night, spoke to Geoff Wootton abut the project and the evening itself.

Quiz Nite raises funds for school in Jamaica

There has been delay after delay to the junction improvements both crossroads at Durford Road and at The Causeway.

Cllr Rob Mocatta said that it is frustrating that has taken so long. He will continue to push for the  work  to get started as soon as possible, especially at Durford Road that has now seen four accidents since the beginning of this year.

Shine Radio's Julie Butler spoke to him about the junctions and other County Council matters
