This report provides details of three applications within the Council’s Neighbourhood Initiatives Funding Programme. NEIGHBOURHOOD INITIATIVES FUNDING 2. Fareham Borough Council has introduced ward based community meetings in the Borough. The initiative was launched in September 2007 and is known as Community Action Team (CAT) meetings. 3. There are five Community Action Teams across the Borough and each meeting is chaired by a local ward councillor. The main objective is to help the Council understand what the public want in their communities and provide an opportunity to inform residents of important developments. They are a channel for other public partners such as the Police to convey key messages, engage more fully with the community, and hear community concerns and issues. They will also enable community members to join the Council in building a better future for all in the Borough. 4. Fareham Borough Council allocated a total of £70,000 for Neighbourhood Initiatives projects to be supported through the CATs meetings. Presently, there is £21,509 of the original year one budget remaining. A further £55,000 has been added for 2008/09. EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST RECEIVED TO DATE- 5.

Details of the Bid 8. The application is for £4,526.50 to support the creation of 230 metres of new paths as part of the Swanwick Lakes Access Project. 9. Swanwick Lakes Centre and Wildlife Reserve is a partnership between Hampshire Wildlife Trust and National Air Traffic Transport Services Limited. Since 1991, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust have managed the area as a wildlife reserve. The flooded clay pits, woodland, and meadow provide a mixture of habitats for wildlife on this 89-acre former clay extraction site for Bursledon Brickworks. The area is designated as a site of importance for nature and conservation in Hampshire. 10. As well as the creation of 1,301 metres of paths the project will include (subject to additional funding) a new pond and dipping platform, production of trail leaflets, computer equipment, re-surfacing and re-grading of existing access paths, construction of new access routes, and access facilities for use by visitors with a disability. 11. The total cost of the project is £45,265 and is dependant on securing funding from BIFFA who will consider funding 90% of the project’s overall cost on the proviso that 10% has already been secured from another source. 12. Over 2,500 children visit the centre and reserve per year a number of those being from schools across the borough. Many local residents also visit throughout the year. 13. The Trust considers the project’s completion will improve access for people with disabilities and enhance the overall experience of visitors to the centre and reserve. Corporate Objectives 14. This bid supports the Council’s corporate objective, protecting and enhancing our environment. Officer Recommendation 15. That £4,526.50 of Neighbourhood Initiatives Funding is provided to support the creation of 230 metres of new paths as part of the Swanwick Lakes Access project referred to in the report. sb-080925-r01-gel - 6 - THE HISTORIC CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF SIX EDWARDIAN AND VICTORIAN MONUMENTS AND TOMBSTONES IN THE OLD BURIAL GROUND OF ST. EDMUNDS CROFTON OLD CHURCH. Details of the bid 16. This application is for £7,475 to support the historic conservation and restoration of six Edwardian and Victorian monuments and tombstones in the old burial ground. 17. The Saxons built St Edmunds Crofton Old Church in the 9th century. It, or a later one, is referred to in the Doomsday Book of 1087 as the ‘Crofton Church of the Holy Rood’. 18. In 1987, a larger Parish Church of the Holy Rood was built in Stubbington, but the old church, re-dedicated to St Edmund, King and Martyr, was occasionally used. In 1980 the Parochial Church Council considered abandoning St Edmund’s for lack of funds for its upkeep but the threat was overcome by a successful appeal that culminated in the formation of the Friends of Crofton Old Church (FOCOC). 19. Since 1981 the FOCOC have been responsible for funding the restoration and maintenance of the church. Recently they have restored the roof, refurbished the inside of the church adding an accessible toilet to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and added a small kitchen area. 20. St Edmunds Crofton Old Church Burial Ground is part of the local communities’ heritage and is well used by visitors to the Church, and those cutting through the cemetery. As a Burial Authority, Fareham Borough Council is responsible for protecting the safety of all cemetery users under the Health and Safety Act 1974 and is committed to a programme of memorial inspections. 21. St Edmunds Crofton Old Church Burial Ground many memorials have been reported as unstable and unsafe. Further inspections since that date, revealed that in addition to the risk of memorials toppling over, many memorials had fallen into disrepair and collapsed over the course of time. Many of them were potential trip hazards, dilapidated and others just lumps of broken stones in need of attention and repair. 22. Due to the age of the memorials, Fareham Borough Council cannot trace their owners and in order to address the problems noted, a programme of works has been established. The proposed memorial work is aimed at enhancing the appearance of the cemetery for future generations, ease maintenance, address health and safety concerns whilst still maintain the character of this Edwardian and Victorian Cemetery. 23. In addition to these health and safety works which are now on a three year faculty, and recent restoration phases, Friends of Crofton Old Church are seeking funding to support the full restoration of six monument memorials in Crofton Old Burial ground. sb-080925-r01-gel - 7 - 24. Description of the six monuments:- Collapsed late Edwardian Cornish granite monument styled in the manner of a celtic cross and matching granite platform base. Collapsing Victorian Portland tomb casket with broken ledger. Collapsing mid Victorian tomb chest. Collapsed monumental headstone set into Portland base plinth, grave area surrounded by Portland kerb edgings.

    WILDLIFE DIARY AND NEWS FOR DEC 28 - JAN 3 (WEEK 53 OF 2015) Fri 1st January 2016 54 Birds and 45 Flowers to start the year In my garden just before sunrise the moon was close to Jupiter high in the southern sky and Robins and a Song Thrush were serenading it from local gardens as a Carrion Crow flew down to collect the sraps of bread I threw out on the lawn before setting out on my bike in search of birds. Also on my lawn I was surprised to see that a Meadow Waxcap fungus had sprung up a couple of weeks after I thought my garden fungus season was over - later I added another fungus to my day list with a smart fresh Yellow Fieldcap (Bolbitius vitellinus) growing from a cowpat on the South Moors Internet photos of Yellow Fieldcap and Meadow Waxcap My proposed route was along the shore from Langstone to Farlington Marshes lake and as the wind was forecast to become increasingly strong from the south- east, and the tide to be rising from low at 9.0am I thought it best to follow the shore with the wind behind me on the way out and to stick to the cycle track and roads on the way home so I rode down Wade Court Road listening out for garden birds among which I heard bursts of song from more than one Dunnock (not a bird I associate with winter song) and saw two smart cock Pheasants in the horse feeding area immediately south of Wade Court.

Background and context Several people are questioning why the Wildlife Trust is involved, as it seems counterintuitive to some that we should work constructively with planners and developers on positive solutions rather than trying to stop development. In fact, the Trust has worked with the planning system for decades, and we continue to invest a significant amount of time in influencing planning at a strategic level, both within our two counties and nationally. We continue to challenge the most damaging developments and over the years have won a few important campaigns. We have made some good progress in changing policy too, for example, many of the planning policies and regulations that force developments to take wildlife into account have come about due to campaigning by ourselves and others. Indeed, many of today’s nature reserves1 were secured through the planning system, and the relatively recent concepts of the local ecological network and biodiversity net gain are both designed to move planning in a more environmentally sustainable direction. However, it is also true that we have little or no influence on housing numbers or broad locations which are set by central government. Indeed, when we recently analysed our in England Walesand No 676313.

  • Visiting the Hampshire Countryside
    Visiting the Hampshire countryside This guide represents the sixth in a series of local guides designed to help parents, carers and teachers to engage children with autism and related disabilities with the natural environment. It should also prove useful to those living and working with adults with autism. It begins by introducing the benefits of visiting the countryside, considering why such experiences are valuable for children with autism. This is followed by a guide to ‘natural’ places to visit in the Hampshire countryside, featuring twenty-five places that the authors believe many children with autism might enjoy. The guide concludes with a series of case stories set in Hampshire nature reserves, which describe visits by children from local special schools.
