Leigh Park Case Study Leigh Park, Havant Case Study LEIGH PARK, HAVANT This case study provides a profile of the suburb, and as- sesses its current state of health. It considers the need for improvement and potential for renewal, before raising some policy issues. It is based on a visit, a workshop with representatives of local interests, and data from a range of sources including the 2001 Census, Local Knowledge, CACI, and FPD Savills. Leigh Park presents the issue of how to regenerate former council housing estates. It has been an important experi- ment in applying the principles of Community Engage- ment, including the Prince of Wales Foundation’s Enquiry by Design process, which resulted in over 150 residents who want to be involved and 45 offering to serve as Area Panel volunteers.

We have to express our thanks to the proprietors of the Hampshire Telegraph and the Portsmouth Times for permission to use several extracts from articles on the County which appeared in those papers some years since; and to Mrs Jewell, of Emsworth, in this Parish, for information which her great age and most retentive memory have enabled her, most kindly, to place at our service.

It highlights the key areas where direct targeted intervention will have the greatest impact and states what the Council will do over the next eighteen years to deliver regeneration - including governance, funding and resourcing. The Delivery Plan then sets out the actions (including approvals, funding and project planning) that will be required to facilitate the delivery of phase 1 from 2018 to 2024. Why are we doing it? - What is the Story for Havant? What are our objectives? - How are we going to deliver? THE CASE FOR REGENERATION Economic Development Havant Borough sits in a prosperous part of the South East of England with an affluent population/catchment and a high demand for housing. However difficult economic conditions, high construction costs versus relatively low values and a nervousness from commercial developers who require a high degree of certainty and fixed rates of return - has led to a prolonged lack of investment in renewal in the Borough. In some areas this has led to further depression of residual values, a deterioration in the quality of the urban form and building stock which in turn has exacerbated the lack of private sector investment.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Date: 17th May 2018 Subject: What a Difference a Day Makes A large pharmaceutical company based in Havant has certainly made a difference to many different charities and organisations in the area over the past few years. For two days in April and May, employees from Pfizer took time out of their working day and joined up with the Positive Pathways Project to lend a hand and support worthwhile local community projects. Positive Pathways support local residents in the Havant area who need assistance to volunteer in the community, they have a personal plan created for them to help them reconnect with their community. Team volunteering days are a great way to do this. In April, Pfizer joined Positive Pathways for a day at Billy’s Lake in Denmead, building fences and undertaking various conservation tasks at the large site, which is dependent on volunteers to maintain the beautiful woods and lake area. Debbie a volunteer from Pfizer said, “It’s been a very rewarding day and nice to see the difference we have made in just a few hours. I will definitely be volunteering again and would highly recommend people get involved in community projects.” Marion a volunteer from Positive Pathways said, “I found volunteering today very worthwhile, it’s great to feel like I’m achieving something, and nice to get out and meet new people.” The two teams worked tirelessly around the Billy’s Lake site, getting tasks done that would have otherwise taken days to finish. Lillian Wakely from Billy’s Lake said, “the team from Pfizer and Positive Pathways worked so hard and did a fantastic job of building the new fence and helping to clear lots of the brush and saplings around the site.

Thus I was encouraged to start out on a journey of exploration into the history of postal services in the local area, a journey which has given me many hours of enjoyment. What I have achieved has been helped enormously by those of the Waterlooville Philatelic Society notably the late Eric Whyley and Mike English, and also the late Geoffrey Salter of the Waterlooville Library. Much of my research was published in the Journal of the Hampshire Postal History Society of which I was editor for a number of years. I must also thank David Coxon whose father took over from George Pook as postmaster in the early fifties for his memories and Paul Costen [www.costen.co.uk] who allowed me access to his scanned collection of postcards to search for Post Offices.
