Chilbolton Parish Council has published a visualisation of their proposal for up to 20-homes to be developed at Gravel Hill.

This comes ahead of their planned public meeting on 27 Jun 2026 at the Village Hall.

For the first time, Chilbolton Open Gardens featured a “Where are the Bears?” quest for younger visitors. It proved very popular with them, and their parents.

There were nine Bears hiding at seven gardens, with one at the Church. So where could they be found?

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, almost 250 people made their way to Chilbolton to enjoy the opening of eleven gardens with floral arrangements in St Mary the Less Church.

In the King’s Birthday honours today, Maureen Treadwell has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE).

The honour has been given for her work in Birth Trauma Awareness.

The Board of Chilbolton Community Land Trust have agreed in principle how they will co-operate with Chilbolton Parish Council in working with potential landowners and with Test Valley Borough Council.

They discussed a model for that co-operation, and how it might develop, as options for building affordable homes become clearer.
