Cllr Richard Millard, Leader of EHDC - We must do what we can to contain the spread of coronavirus

I've just heard that East Hampshire will move into Tier 4 from Boxing Day (00:01 on Saturday December 26).

I know this will be difficult for many of us as it will further reduce our social interactions but it is so important that we do everything we possibly can to contain the spread of coronavirus. So please follow the new rules, even if it is hard.

Tier 4 means that non-essential retail will have to close so this will also have a big impact on our local businesses who have already suffered so much this year. I'd like to reassure you that we are doing everything we possibly can to support you and help in any way we can.

It's going to be a Christmas unlike any other, but if we all follow the new rules then together we will get through this and I very much hope that 2021 will be a brighter year for us all.

If you have any coronavirus symptoms:

• High temperature
• New, continuous cough
• Loss of, or change to, your sense of smell or taste.

Get a test and stay at home.

South African strain
A new strain of the virus has been linked to South Africa.
Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, today said: "Anyone in the UK who has been in South Africa in the past fortnight, and anyone who has been in close contact with anyone who has been in South Africa in the last fortnight, must quarantine immediately
"By quarantine, I mean they must restrict all contact with any other person whatsoever.
"We will be changing the law to give this legal effect imminently.
"These measures are temporary, while we investigate this further new strain, which is currently being analysed at Porton Down."

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY: NEIGHBOURHOOD PORTION

The District Council collects a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) on certain developments including residential developments and retail.
The majority of the levy is spent on major infrastructure projects, however 15% of the amount collected has to be spent in the area where development is taking place, in agreement with the local community. This is referred to as the ‘Neighbourhood Portion’ which can be spent on a wide range of infrastructure providing it meets the criteria to support the development of the area.
Examples of eligible projects:
Environmental improvements such as, landscaping, open space improvement
Public Art
Street furniture
Equipment for a community group.
Horndean Parish Council currently has £40,289.00 available for projects.
The following proposals have been submitted:
To extend and replace the boardwalks situated at Hazleton Common (£3,972.51) and Dell Piece West (£6,659.45)
To plant trees within Catherington Lith and Jubilee Field (£2,000 approx)
To provide a DDA compliant toddler swings at Downs Park (£57,933 - £9,832).
Please do contact the Parish Office on 02392 597766 or on contact@horndeanpc-hants.gov.uk with any comments which you may wish to make regarding the above proposed projects, and additionally with any ideas about how this funding could be spent.
