You never know if one day you will need the Air Ambulance 

Knowing the difference between 999 and 101 can help save lives. That was just one of the hot topics that Shine Radio's Julie Butler spoke to PCSO Tanya Manns about, while visiting Winton House for the latest Cops and Coffee session.

Dial 101: The Right Call for Non-Emergencies

Councillor Jamie Matthews was Mayor of Petersfield for the first time nine years ago and this time wants to get to know even more voluntary and community organisations, 

Speaking to Mike Waddington and Julie Butler he says he has enjoyed his first six weeks and he will promote volunteering for as many organistions as he can and thinks more people can help Petersfield this way.  

He also talked about the neighbourhood plan - which does take time and covers roughly a15 year period and how it sets projects to retain Petersfield’s special character, which over time can find funding. He thinks that local Government reorganisation may speed decisions up.

He talks about his background, his family and his job - the Mayoralty is not a paid position.

HIs history in Petersfield stretches back decades but he's still finding things out about the town's organisations and people and is impressed by what  he has seen so far.
