The first litter pick of 2017 will be on Sunday 7th January and as always we will meet up at the far end of Morrisons Car Park at 9:30. Litter pick tools, bags, gloves and other equipment are all provided and if you fancy a little exercise to compensate for the mince pies then please come along and join us for 2 hours.

Sally.

On behalf of all our Horndean Councillors, HPC, EHDC and HCC officers and staff we hope you and your families have a happy, relaxing and enjoyable Christmas and a prosperous 2017.

The last Neighbourhood Policing Team surgery is on Friday 23rd December between 4pm and 6pm at the library on Five Heads Road in Horndean. All are welcome!

One of the most common concerns we hear is about the access to local health services. While provision of healthcare is not an EHDC remit we work with local surgeries to help them move into new premises or to channel developers contributions to them.

With changes to the NHS including structures like CCG’s (Clinical Commissioning Groups) funding, supporting new services and also looking ahead at our aging needs for adult care is a big issue.

Our next Community Forum on Wednesday 14th December 2016 will cover the NHS and ‘Can you get the health services you need?’ – all are welcome at Merchistoun Hall from 6:30.

The Police will also be holding a surgery from 5:30 before the Community Forum so please come along to ask them any questions you have.

Don’t forget – Tuesday 13th December Santa will be visiting Oh So’s before and after the Carol Service so please arrive early to get a great spot – the service starts at 7:00pm
