Chilbolton hosted the latest Pan Parish River Pollution Forum meeting at the Village Hall last night. Thirteen parishes are involved with PPRPF. Its aim is to raise awareness about the extent of the pollution of local rivers, including the River Test.

The death has been announced of David Foster, born in Chilbolton in 1947 at Larkfield, Drove Road.

Two villages, different in many ways, but linked by very similar stories. The Braishfield villagers’ fight over the last year is a story of determination and ingenuity, one which has lessons for Chilbolton.

At their meeting last night, Parish Councillors agreed to hold registration lists for affordable housing categories only, and not to hold lists for downsize and self-build homes.

Cllr David Hall, on behalf of Chilbolton Parish Council, has lodged a new objection to the 75-home plan, together with a letter to TVBC’s Director of Planning and Development, Simon Finch.
