👉🏼 Nigel Farage is holding a rally in Hampshire tonight 👉🏼 Why? Because he knows he can win the elections across Hampshire & the Isle of Wight in May 🗳️👉🏼 But, he also knows, only the Conservatives can stop him❗️ ‘Follow’ to stay up to date 📲

Reform lied about cutting Council Tax. Now they’re trying to pretend it never happened. Well, it did. And we kept the receipts.

Hey Places for People 👀 – residents at your Squirrel Wood development have been waiting 3+ years for the promised community green space. Still not finished, no furniture, and children can’t play there. No communicated opening date! This is absolutely taking the biscuit. 🍪 #NewBuildHell #LettingCustomersDown @pfpsupport

The new Aquadrome replacement could be a major investment for Basingstoke. But residents should note the preferred operator Places Leisure is part of Places for People — the same organisation behind the troubled Squirrel Wood development. We’ll be watching this project very closely. 👀

Great to see the renewed play park at Cranesfield in Sherborne St John now finished and open 🛝🌳 The new equipment looks fantastic and it’s great to see local children already enjoying it. Spaces like this are so important for families in our villages. 👍
