It gave me great pleasure as Hampshire County Council’s Executive Member for Recreation & Heritage to formally reopen Lockswood Library following its refurbishment.

The library serves up to 500 customers per day making it one of Hampshire’s busiest libraries. Volunteers help for 12 hours per week .

I much enjoyed attending Bursledon, Hamble and Hound Dementia Awareness Group’s event today at Royal Victoria Country Park. Thank you to everyone for making me so welcome. It was fascinating to meet all the groups involved in supporting those with dementia. Also so sobering to have a dementia experience on the Dementia Tour Bus.

It was great to join Portsmouth Naval Gliding Centre Chief Instructor Dickie Croker on behalf of the Royal Naval Gliding and Soaring Association at Solent Airport@Daedalus today. Pleased to present the certificates and to enjoy a flight. It is good to see so many visitors to enjoy the facilities we have on offer. As always fantastic to be joined by a Boultbee Spitfire.
