  • Please Find Attached Denmead Parish Councils Outline of Issues. Kind
    From: Cllr Langford-Smith To: Aquind Interconnector Cc: Cllr Andreoli; "[email protected]" Subject: Comments for the Open Floor (7th Dec) and Issue Specific (9th Dec) Hearings Date: 30 November 2020 15:39:36 Attachments: 1) Village Legacy.docx 2) Preservation of Gap.docx 3) Impact on SINCs.docx 4) Impact of Building.docx Please find attached Denmead Parish Councils outline of issues. Kind regards Paula Paula Langford-Smith Chairman Denmead Parish Council Remarks to Aquind Hearing on Village Legacy 07-12-20 As has already been remarked, whilst the residents of Portsmouth, Havant and East Hampshire will suffer short term disruption whilst the cables for the interconnector and the associated fibre-optic communication cable are laid, the residents of Denmead Parish will not only endure this, but will also be faced with a 26 metre tall building sited within the Parish for 40 years or more. The Draft Development Control Order lays out how the developer intends to install the cables and build the Interconnector facilities but there is no consideration whatever given to the community which faces this intrusion. It would seem that the only legacy the Parish of Denmead can look forward to is the buildings on the outskirts of the parish. There is no Employment and Skills plan and no opportunity for the residents to gain employment and training as a benefit of the interconnector. There is no offer of any form of benefit for the Parish, no offer of compensation, no acknowledgement whatsoever from the developer that they will be having any effect on Denmead.

  • Boundaries for the Winchester and Test Valley Parliamentary Constituencies
    Hursley Parish Council C/O 31b Main Road Hursley Hampshire SO21 2JW Dear Sir/Madam, South East Region Initial Proposals: Boundaries for the Winchester and Test Valley Parliamentary Constituencies The South-East Region Initial Proposals for the Parliamentary Constituencies propose that the Parish of Hursley will no longer be located within the Parliamentary constituency of Winchester. At their meeting held on Monday 12th November 2016 the Parish Council agreed to object to the Boundary Commission proposal and request that the Parish of Hursley remains within the Winchester Constituency. The Parish of Hursley includes the hamlet of Pitt and both are geographically close to the City of Winchester and have long standing community ties with the City. Consequently, the Parish Council on behalf of the residents of Hursley would prefer to remain within the constituency of Winchester, ideally, together with our neighbouring parishes of Otterbourne, Compton and Shawford. We respectfully request that you reconsider this aspect of your proposals based on the evidence of the close community ties with our neighbouring parishes and with the Winchester City and wider District. We do not have similar close community links with Romsey and the Test Valley. Geography Our Parish borders the City of Winchester. Some of our residents, for example live on Sarum Road situated close to the heart of the city. With the proposed changes their next-door neighbours would be allocated to a Winchester City Ward and Winchester MP whilst they would be served by a Romsey MP based 17 miles away. We share many common issues with central Winchester being located on the main traffic route into Winchester via the A3090, local housing development, secondary schools, GP surgeries, the County Hospital, Winchester railway station and bus service.
