MOBILE phone news: The proposals for two new phone masts in the Hatch Warren area went before councillors last week.

One mast is planned for the edge of the community fields, close to the chicane in Woodbury Road, and the other is to be sited near the Sainsbury's roundabout.

Both of these proposals were approved.

A third application for a mast adjacent to Cliddesden Lane, near the Woods Lane roundabout, will come before the committee in April.

FLOWER power: Sainsbury's in Hatch Warren recently raised more than £100 for St Michael's Hospice with a bouquet wrapping service for Valentine's Day.

Children from the Joint Basingstoke Primary Schools Choir will also be taking part.

The concert starts at 7pm, and tickets and more details are available from The Anvil on 844244.
