Yvonne Newbegin has organised the delivery rota for some years but has decided it is time to ‘retire’, at least from this role. Our thanks go to Yvonne for all she has done to ensure the magazine is delivered around the parish as quickly as possible once it is received from the printers. Tina Vine (the Editor) has agreed to share the distribution task with Cllr Jacquie Shaw and they will be in touch with all ‘Yvonne’s’ helpers for future distribution – our thanks also go to them all. Outlook is a useful and much appreciated Parish Magazine for residents in the Parish – thank you all. If you feel you could help with distribution do please get in touch. North Totton developments: Residents may or may not be aware that much of the area being described as ‘North Totton’ and due for major development including something in the region of 900 homes will actually involve land which is in the parish of Netley Marsh. This will be the main item on the APM agenda in 2019. The Parish Council would welcome residents views on the proposals. A design guide has been developed by NFDC which can be viewed at http://www.nfdc.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=36640&p=0 it must be stated that the design guide is just that, a guide, this does not constitute actual planning proposals but provides developers with a guide as to what is considered acceptable. Actual plans will eventually be put forward for permission at a later stage and will need to be commented on in the normal way.
