Around 100 people attended the Town meeting on Tuesday 4 March.

Reports came from the main committees, like the Festival Hall plan, the new Heath toilet and changing block, as well as briefings on devolution and the South Downs National Park plan.

The Mayor, Councillor Lesley Farrow, gave out awards to community champions and spoke about her charities she's supporting as Mayor; the Rosemary Foundation and Petersfield Lions. 

Lots of questions came from attendees about many aspects of the environment here like litter on slip roads. and responsible dog walking as well as queries on the timing of projects.

Cllr Jamie Mathews spoke  about managing 200 acres of public open space in Petersfield. The Heath attracts 350,000 visitors a year and he gave details of the new toilet and changing facilities block, to be built in late spring.

Sine Radio's Julie Butler, was surprised when the Mayor gave her an award at the  Meeting, for her work on Shine Radio, Speedwatch and dementia.
