Petersfield Weather with Richard Marks

Weather 3 December 2021

This week we are upon the slopes of Windmill Hill just south of Petersfield at the amazing Buter Ancient Farm.

Yes, we know the farm for lots of events throughout the year. But of course, between those events, they have an ongoing programme of education.

So we're going to speak to the people who dressed up as  Roman soldiers, who show us how to make swords, and who invite visitors to join them in the wonderfully diverse  world of ancient history.

Local news for Friday 5th December

Councillors have been issued with laptops, to make significant savings in both cost and the impact on the environment.

Dramatic savings will be made as a result of going paperless across the 43 councillors. The first full council meeting in September saved the council £4833 on printing costs, which is over 14,000 sheets of paper.

Cllr Nick Drew tells us more
