Commenting Locally
Regional housing targets have been revoked by the new coalition government which means that we wont be bound as a borough to build 900+ houses a year - good news!
However, making national headlines is the fact that this new government thinks these targets slowed house building and plan to reward councils who do build - so there remains a very large question mark over how much development Basingstoke will still see.
If you take your car into Basingstoke to shop or frequent the various central leisure facilities then you might want to consider signing an online petition that aims to protect certain town center car parks from being built on.
The KOPS - Keep Our Parking Spaces - petition and more details can be found here www.ourcampaign.org.uk/KOPS
Residents who were allocated a plot on the new Chineham allotments back in June have still not been able to put fork to any soil. A snag list is being worked through prior to the Parish Council accepting handover.
Unauthorised traveller encampments are continuing to take place in and around Basingstoke.
