As part of the Manydown development, the developers are proposing making the junction between the A339 and Rooksdown Lane into a No Right Turn, coming from Basingstoke. This will divert an excessive amount of traffic through Rooksdown.  For more information, see the letter the Parish Council sent to residents of the affected area in May.

The Parish Council has also submitted a formal response to the planning authorities.

The Internal Audit of the Parish Council is now complete and the documents have been submitted for the External Audit.  As part of this process we are publishing:

• The Annual Governance and Accountability Return (including in the Internal Audit Report, Annual Governance Statement, and Accounting Statement)
• Notice of Public Rights, showing the date during which the detailed accounts can be inspected (by appointment)
• The unaudited accounts  for 2018-19

the council has made a further response to the application to prevent the right turn into Rooksdown lane from the A339:

• The No Right Turn from the A339 into Rooksdown Lane means that all traffic from the south heading to Weybrook Park Golf Club, including cars and delivery vehicles, will access the club via Rooksdown Avenue and Gillies Drive, using residential roads that were not intended for this purpose. This would appear to transfer safety issues from the A339 to narrow residential streets and is unacceptable to the residents.

The minutes of the April Parish Council meeting are now available here.
