      • • Sports Facilities Boost For Totton
        28/04/08
        Testwood Sports College, in Totton, seems set to benefit from a massive boost as a centre of excellence for Table Tennis.

        The New Forest District Council is being asked to help fund a £275,000 project to upgrade facilities at the school site. The improvements will see a facility that is c

        28/04/08
        Totton can feel proud that they now have a more fitting memorial to all those people who lost lives in defence of our country.

        A large number of organisations contributed towards a fund to include the names of local service personnel on the war memorial itself.

        This was first

      • • Sustrans to help Marchwood
        27/04/08
        The prospects of getting decent pathway and cycle links for Marchwood village are beginning to look a lot brighter. For a long time, the benefit of having a pedestrian and cycle link from Totton to Marchwood has been recognised. It appears in plans drawn up by the New Forest District Council. There

      • • Totton in Bloom Week
        25/04/08
        Totton in Bloom Week – what a good idea! The suggestion was made to me by a local resident who returned one of the grumble sheets from a recent edition of the Liberal Democrat Focus.

        Of course, we get a lot of complaints, which we are happy to try and address.

        However, someti

        24/04/08
        I wasn’t feeling too well when I attended a full meeting of Totton & Eling Town Council last night. I had a bad headache, one that subsequently kept me awake all night. I spent a lot of the time, going over in my mind, the things I complained about at the meeting.

        I expressed bitter

      • • Let's become a Chinese Twin?
        22/04/08
        From time to time I’m asked to get involved in twinning activities. I have never yet found the time to pay a visit to France or Germany. However, about a year ago, in my role as Chairman of Totton & Eling Town Council, I was very pleased to host a visit from our friends in France. I delivered a

      • • Question Prompts Enquiry into Contracts Scandal
        21/04/08
        The New Forest District Council is to urgently investigate details of contracts awarded to a number of construction companies following fears that taxpayers may have been swindled out of thousands of pounds.

        More than one hundred construction companies have been accused of conspiring to

      • • Marchwood Power Station
        19/04/08
        Marchwood Power Station, still under construction, was visited by a select group of local people this week.

        The Marchwood Power Station Working Group meet on a regular basis to check construction progress and deal with any issues that have arisen or are likely to crop up in relation to op

        In my View.....
        By David Harrison, Town, District and County Councillor,

        I’m a great fan of local newspapers. What is happening in your village, town or city is of interest, whether it is good or bad news. As a change from the printed media, by and large, local radio stations also

        Report for Hounsdown Community Association April 2008

        Drainage Problems

        Totton has more than its fair share of drainage problems and I am often reporting problems to the local Highways Office. Particular “hotspots”, (if that’s the right description!), include Eling Lane, Rumb

      • • Grant supports local sports team
        12/04/08
        County Councillor, David Harrison, has used part of his annual grant giving powers to support a local netball team.

        The Member for Marchwood and Totton South has been allocated £10,000 per annum to distribute to worthy causes. The funds are intended to support positive community activitie

        11/04/08
        To : The Editor,
        Lymington Times,

        Dear Sir,

        Conservative Councillor, Derek Tipp, has clearly ruffled a few feathers (letters 12th April). He claims that evidence gathered across the globe pointing to the causes of climate change is no more than propoganda. The ex-school te

        09/04/08
        Report for the 2008 Annual Parish Meeting of Marchwood Parish Council

        Introduction

        It continues to be a very great privilege to serve the division of Marchwood and Totton South. The Town and the village are both very different communities. I can barely believe that I am about

      • • County Council Meeting April 2008
        03/04/08
        It was a slightly strange meeting of the County Council this week. It was possibly because the meeting started with a deputation from a group of young ladies calling upon us to “Save the Nurseries” – something that nobody disagrees with – that set the mood for a largely harmonious meeting.

      • • Cabinet Meeting 2nd April
        03/04/08
        I was quite pleased with the outcome of the Cabinet Meeting at New Forest District Council this week.

        The most important item on the agenda, in my opinion, was to agree that developer’s contributions for the flood defence work at Admiralty Quay be released so that the work may commence. I
