Drones
Operating drones is not illegal; however, users are restricted from repeatedly flying them in close proximity to residential addresses and doing this could lead to them being dealt with for Anti-Social behaviour or committing a S.4a/S.5 Public Order Act offence.
If you are concerned that a drone appears as though it is being used in suspicious circumstances e.g. if it continuously hovers over a particular area, please contact the Police on 101.
Winchester City Council Local Plan 2036 Launch Consultation
Winchester City Council is about to start preparation of its Local Plan 2036 and wishes to hear from local communities, indviduals and commercial businesses - in fact anyone with an interest in this matter.
The purpose of the Local Plan is to provide a planning policy framework to direct growth and change to appropriate locations, in accordance with the National Planning Guidance to achieve sustainable development. The Local Plan will also include a range of general planning policies to inform the location, scale and appearance of developments.
The Local Plan will cover the administrative area of Winchester City Council except for that part within the South Downs National Park, which has its own Local Plan. If you feel the Local Plan should cover specific matters or exclude matters, please complete the on-line questionnaire which can be accessed at:

All comments must be received by 12pm Friday 21 September 2018

Traffic
Speed and volume of traffic through the village is an ongoing concern.
In 2014 kerbs were installed along a number of roads in the village. While protecting the verges they have also contributed to a notable reduction in speed as it is more difficult for vehicles to pass side by side.
Details of traffic survey undertaken in 2015 can be viewed here
