There was much to applaud at last Monday’s Parish Council meeting. Disaster had been averted with the “faulty” planning pre-application being “paused”. The Strategy Working Group has been tasked with rewriting it: it will cover only the 25 properties, located at the southern end of the plot near Eastman’s Field. When it’s finished villagers will be able to see it.

At the hastily rearranged “informal” meeting last Saturday, we were told that at the Parish Council next Monday “governance” was going to be discussed. Parish councillors and members of the SWG all “have concerns about the governance of CPC” according to Cllr David Hall.

From the moment Chilbolton Parish Council’s plans leaked they have been on the back foot.
