On Saturday 25th March Hursley launched the first stage of creating its Parish Plan at a well-attended event in the Parish Hall.
The purpose of the event was to get parishioners thinking about the aspects of the parish that they value and those they want to change. The next stage is a questionnaire that everyone in the parish will be invited to complete. The aim is to have the plan in place by the end of the year.
The meeting was addressed by Steve Brine MP. The highlight of the displays that formed part of the event was an exhibition of posters and postcards produced by the children of Hursley's John Keble primary school revealing their dreams for the future of the village.
Steve Brine said: "This was a useful start to what is a great chance for the village to come together and work on a plan everyone can be a part of and buy into. It should have been started years ago as some other communities locally have done so all credit to the Hursley team for getting people together and making something happen.
"I look forward to working with villagers as the plan emerges and will offer every support."
