Rooksdown is growing fast, and we need to make sure that we have the best facilities we can.

Much of this money will come through the Parish Council. We have two vacancies for councillors at the moment. If you want to be part of Rooksdown’s future why not have look at how you could become a Parish Councillor.

Manydown FAQ
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, as planning authority, consulted on the Manydown application earlier this year. This included a response provided by the Parish Council following a meeting with interested residents. The Manydown project team has reviewed the comments that were made in that consultation and published answers to frequently asked questions to give further information or explanation on the website at www.manydownbasingstoke.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions
Further discussion is now taking place with Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council as the planning authority, as well as relevant statutory consultees. Updated information will be submitted to the planning authority and it is expected there will be a further planning consultation during autumn 2017 to seek feedback on this updated information.
