Allied aircraft at Air Service Training for repair during the winter of 1944-45. Issue 302 Published by Hamble-le-Rice Parish Council and distributed free throughout the Parish and at www.hambleparishcouncil.gov.uk COUNCIL news The Parish Council is pleased to report that it has appointed Mrs Amanda Jobling as its new Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer. She officially takes up her post at the beginning of this month after a few weeks working alongside Brendan Gibbs prior to his departure.
The Council was fortunate to have a number of high quality applicants for the post and we wish her well in her new role that will be both challenging and exciting.
As mentioned in the last Council News the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has refused the appeal by Hallam Land Management for a development
next to Hamble Station. Hallam had the right to challenge the Secretary of State’s decision in the High Court within six weeks and this is what has happened. The appeal in the High Court will focus points of law rather than the planning decision itself. As normal at this time of year the Council has been preparing its budget for the next financial year, including reviewing the costs and prices it charges for the services it provides. The Parish Council has again decided not to increase its precept for 2017/18. The Parish Council has agreed to make a £40,000 contribution towards the Borough Council’s refurbishment of the Coronation Parade area and we look forward to this project being completed before early summer. At a meeting before Christmas Sgt O’Hanlon and EBC Local Area Manager Matt Blythe attended and spoke about HYPE and their concerns about the continued provision of local youth services. Hamble School has withdrawn its support for HYPE and consequently they will be unable to use their premises from the end of March. Local Property Sales, Lettings Parish Councils have been approached about using some of their venues and have and Management been asked to continue giving funding. The Parish Council has therefore agreed to give £10,000 for another year to support
HYPE in 2016/17 and to offer the use of the Roy Underdown Pavilion with its associated sporting facilities.
