Following a local resident and Gosport Waterways Volunteer reporting that pollution from a sewer pipe was occuring in the lake we have had the pipe viewed by MTS cleansing contracted by Southern Water. There is a crack in the pipe which will be lined to reseal it. In order to minimise the risk to sealife and the public the sluice gate has been left open to ensure regular flushing by the tide.

I am delighted that Diane Searle has been elected on Thursday 2nd August to serve the people of Town Ward.

The Taxi rank at the Falkland Gardens is to have railings fitted along the pavement and a new shelter.

We have recently seen graffiti scrawled on walls, etc in our area. Please contact me with your views.
