PARISH council meeting: The next one is to be held this coming Monday.

Beginning at 7.45pm, in Chineham Village Hall's meeting room, the public speaking session will start at about 8.45pm.

An agenda should be available to view on any of the council's notice boards located around the parish.

VOLUNTEERS sought: For involvement with the Village Design Statement (VDS).

A meeting regarding the statement is to be held later this month, and at least 10 residents are needed to form a committee.

Any members would be provided with an opportunity to become actively involved in the process of adjustments to Chineham.

So, if you are interested in getting directly involved (or cannot make the meeting but have some thoughts on the design statement), contact Gillian Baker on 761790 or e-mail planning@chineham.gov.uk
