The place to be on Bank Holiday Sunday was the Skate Park off of Budds Lane in Bordon.

It didn’t matter what age you were. It was all about turning up with you skateboard, scooter or BMX bike and having fun.

Run by Whitehill Town Council and the Whitehill and Bordon Community Trust for the third year. It proved to be as ever popular.

EHDC’s share of the Council Tax remains lower than most comparable councils in the region.

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
