BROOKVALE committee: The new committee has been keeping Cllr Doris Jones busy with a list of maintenance needs for this area.

Some are new and others have been promised but not yet done, such as the resurfacing of the ground around the ball wall and the repositioning of the goal post, both of which are on King George V Playing Fields.

If you are aware of any problems or aspects of the community which need attention, please contact one of the Brookvale committee members via the website www.brookvale.org.uk

You can also contact Cllr Doris Jones at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, or myself.

PLEASE contact me on the above number with any news or events you would like to have included.

Ten days' notice of events would be appreciated.
