Next Saturday 23 May 2026 from 2pm onwards, David Hall and his family will be hosting a celebration of his wife Denise, who passed away in February.

They held a private, family cremation, followed by drinks at the Abbots Mitre. It was her wish, though, that a larger celebration should be held for their many friends.

At the Annual Parish Meeting, Chilbolton Parish Council reviews its policies and procedures, confirms terms of reference for its committees and appoints Councillors to them.

As first order of business, Cllr David Hall was re-elected as Chair, and Cllr Neil Connor was elected as Vice Chair.

At the last Parish Council meeting there was a sense of puzzlement, amongst some Councillors, over the Observatory’s objection to the 75-home planning application.

Here we explain the background to that objection.

With the resignation of Cllr David Griffiths, the Parish Council has advertised a vacancy. Could that be you?

Results for the Test Valley Central division are in. David Drew, Conservative, has been re-elected as Hampshire County Councillor.
