The Parish Council's Recreation Committee are currently working on new community projects in Chineham for 2022, including:
- Replacing the wooden bridges that give access into the area within the ancient moat between Thornhill Way and Farm View Drive to make the area more accessible for quiet enjoyment of this lovely green space.
- Installing some new seats beside Petty's Brook - the first of which will be installed in Tollhouse Meadow to replace a popular seat in a similar location which was vandalised and removed some years ago.
