That’s all folks, we’ll be back next Monday. Hope you have a lovely weekend and a happy Halloween! 🎃 Please remember: if you go trick-or-treating tomorrow, be respectful and considerate of others and only knock on doors of homes that display Halloween decorations.

We've funded new speed awareness signs to encourage motorists to slow down and help keep our communities safe. Drivers travelling within the speed limit will be greeted with a smiley face or a thank you, while those exceeding the limit will receive a reminder to slow down.

While we’re not the highway authority, we’re supporting efforts to reduce speeds in areas of the borough with high levels of vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The signs will move to different locations every two weeks to help encourage safer driving across the borough.

Every year 4,200 tonnes of disposable incontinence and period products are thrown away in Hampshire. That’s the weight of 40 blue whales 🐳 Switching to reusable alternatives can help reduce waste, cut down on single-use plastics and even save you money over time.

One small piece of gum can create a big problem. It's sticky, harmful to wildlife and doesn't simply disappear. Clearing gum from pavements costs money and time that we could spend on keeping our borough clean.

Respect others and keep the emphasis on treats not tricks this #Halloween – if nobody answers the door or a ‘no trick or treat’ sign is on display, be considerate and leave immediately. Not everyone enjoys Halloween.

From community gardens to support groups, great local ideas often start small. Funding could help yours grow. If your community or voluntary organisation delivers services or activities to benefit residents, our Councillor Community Grant Scheme could give your project a boost.
