At a meeting this Wednesday, the Community Development Committee will discuss, and potentially agree, terms of reference for the CDC that challenge those agreed by Chilbolton Parish Council only two weeks ago.

Once again, flyers have popped up around the village, this time encouraging residents to attend the next Community Development Committee meeting in the Village Hall on Wednesday 27 July at 7pm.

Southern Water have this morning announced that starting from 9am on Monday 21 Jul 2025 there will be a hosepipe ban. Customers on their Priority Services Register with medical or mobility needs including Blue Badge holders, and those on their WaterSure tariff are exempt.

Having advised Chilbolton residents on how they can make a comment on TVBC’s plan to build 65 homes in the village between 2025 and 2042, the Parish Council have now mapped out the process for creating their own response to the proposals.

The illusion that Chilbolton had successfully established a Community Development Committee, that would oversee the planning and building of new homes in the village, was blown apart yesterday evening at the Parish Council meeting.

After the terms of reference for CDC were materially changed in a split Parish Council vote, Cllr David Hall said that he would have to resign as CDC’s Chair.
