The Parish Council is pleased to announce that Planning permission for the Allotments has been granted by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. The next stage is for the Borough Council to issue Tenders for its construction such that we should be ready for next year’s planting season. Please keep an eye on our website for developments. 

We   have agreed to contribute to the cost of rewiring of the Village hall by awarding a grant of £10,000 towards the cost of these works, in order to help maintain this valuable community facility. 

The Parish Council has received its first feedback from the movable Speed Limit reminder sign which has recorded that the speed limits on the main roads in Chineham are certainly being exceeded regularly. Hanmore road limit being the most often broken (all along its length) with Bowman road second, however Thornhill way is not far behind. This suggests that through traffic could be the main culprit but local residents are also ignoring the limits. Please keep an eye on your speedometer as we don't want to see an outbreak of slow down measures put in place.

In order to try and combat anti social behavior we have agreed to remove the seats in the Reading Road Bus Shelter and will continue to monitor the situation there. There has also been a new Bus shelter at the Chineham shopping centre installed.

Every month the Chineham Parish Council meeting Agendas are placed on the notice boards prior to the meeting as well as uploaded along with the minutes of the meetings to our website, however, if you do not have access to the internet and would like a copy of the minutes then please contact the Clerk who will be able to supply you with a hard copy via the post
