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

Agencies Working Together goes into its 10 year of collaboration

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.
