busiest street surgeries I have ever held in
Alresford - gives way to the new political
season. It was lovely to be joined for the
August surgery by PCSO ‘Stevo’ Hull and I
want to place on record my thanks to him for
being everything a beat bobby should be.
Not many police officers can also pull out of
the hat these days (Steve is a magician in
his spare time) and he will be sorely missed
in the area. My next Alresford surgery will
take
place
in
November;

JACKIE’S
COUNTY
COLUMN
October
Hampshire’s Mineral and Waste
Plan - update
My work in the constituency on school
places will not be slowing down either. They
are addressing the chronic shortage of
primary places in the city, and it was great to
help secure just over £10m in funding from
Hampshire County Council for a new school
earlier in the Summer, but there is much
more to do and we must now focus on the
effect these ‘bulge’ years will have on our
secondary schools in a few years’ time. I will
be working with HCC and the secondary
schools across my constituency, including in
Alresford, to support them wherever
possible and make sure we are not caught
by surprise when this year’s Reception Year
children (which includes one of my own)
reach ‘big school’ in due course.
If you would like to get in touch on any issue or
need my help, please don't hesitate to contact
me via [email protected].
There is a Consultation on the proposed
policy changes arising from the Inspector’s
195-page report on the Mineral and Waste
Plan which starts in October. I would
encourage all interested residents to write in
with their comments to this document which
is the development plan for waste
management of domestic and commercial
waste and is very important for residents.
As soon as it is available, I will place the link
on my website; it isn’t easy reading, but
when we know more of the process, I will be
organising a working meeting for all
residents, so that you feel confident to
respond if you wish.
Autumn is the tradional time for the big
planning applications to arrive on our
doorstep, and this year is no exception.
Clean Power has made an application for a
plant at Micheldever Station as we
expected; I have been working with
residents and local Councillors to make sure
