Sponsored walk 2010

Members of the MGA on Hayling Beach

The Hampshire branch of the Myasthenia Gravis Association (MGA) is organising a four mile sponsored walk along the Hayling Billy Trail on Hayling Island on Sunday 5th September 2010. The walk will start from the West Town Hotel. Walkers will head to the old North Hayling Halt and back taking in views of Langstone Harbour and Portsmouth in the distance. All are welcome! Myasthenia Gravis is a very rare muscle weakness disease and can affect people of all ages. There is currently no cure and it is not known what causes it. The walk will raise vital funds to help with research and provide support and care to sufferers locally. ● FOR MORE INFORMATION about the walk or the local branch please contact Steve on 01273 581087 or email steve.saunders@mga-charity.org. You will also find more information at events.myastheniagravis.co.uk/hantsww

Havant and East Hampshire shared services Good progress is being made on the partnership between East Hampshire and Havant councils. In today’s difficult financial climate it makes sense to cut management overheads. We have therefore been sharing a chief executive since last October and have recently established a shared top management team for the two councils. We are now looking at what other management and services we can share to further improve efficiency and protect front line services. While, over time, we will be sharing an increasing proportion of our services East Hampshire and Havant will continue to be distinct democratic organisations with two elected councils representing their own communities. In this way we aim to achieve the best of both worlds. Continued local democratic representation but with reduced management overheads and more economical service provision across the two areas.

Public Inquiry for

Havant Thicket Reservoir Free swimming early victim of cuts Free swimming for under 16s and over 60s was introduced in April 2009. However the scheme has now been cut as part of the government’s wider reductions in public sector funding. Councillor Jennifer Gray, Portfolio Holder for Lifestyles and Environment said: “It is a great shame because it was hugely successful and the benefits to those concerned were enormous.” Healthy lifestyles will continue to be a priority for EHDC and the Council will continue to seek ways to encourage people to take part in more physical activity.

PARTNERS

The Portsmouth Water proposal for a new winter storage reservoir, south of Havant Thicket will be subject to a Public Inquiry into Portsmouth Water’s Resource Management Plan later this year. The Inquiry is part of a new public consultation process requiring water companies to produce statutory plans for ensuring safer, more secure and sustainable water supplies through to 2035. This means no further new work will be undertaken until the outcome of the Inquiry is known. The company, however, remains confident that the provision of the new reservoir provides a sustainable and cost effective part of the solution to meet the increasing demands on our water supply. Information display boards have been erected around the site to explain the plans to local residents and site users. ● FOR MORE INFORMATION on the plans for the reservoir visit www.havantthicketreservoir.co.uk.

Successful communities

Community First

is changing

Community First East Hampshire provides support to over 400 voluntary organisations, which, in the wor ds of Chief Executive Terry Bishop, provide “the glue that holds local communities together.” However, in the current climate of financial austerity Terry is looking for ways to pr event our local voluntary sector from becoming unstuck. “Volunteers and voluntary groups are essential to East Hampshire,” said Terry, “and our core role is to provide the back up these organisations need to keep going and keep impr oving.” If an individual wants to get involved in volunteering then the Volunteer Centre is their first point of call. You can find information about volunteering vacancies on the Community First website, (details below), and a link to volunteering vacancies on the national ‘Do it’ website. If you have an idea for a new voluntary initiative or need advice on funding, training or anything else about voluntary work then Community First is the place to go.

NEW CHAIRMAN One of the current volunteer vacancies listed on the website is for a new Chairman for Community First itself. “Our outgoing Chairman, Tony Struthers, has done an excellent job, and will be a tough act to follow,” said Terry, “We now need someone to help guide us through a fairly difficult road ahead. The ideal candidate would have some voluntary experience and a business backgr ound or public sector experience.” Like other volunteers the Chairman is unpaid, but ther e are non-financial benefits: “Many people volunteer to contribute to their local community, to gain useful skills and training that may lead to a paid job, or just to have fun working with other people on issues they care about” said Terry.

THE BIG ISSUES FOR COMMUNITY FIRST ARE: To continue to recruit volunteers for the many organisations across East Hampshire. ● Developing more projects that are of benefit to local communities. ● Finding new sources of funding by providing services locally whilst maintaining existing sources of funding from the lottery and from councils such as EHDC, and Hampshir e County Council. “Although volunteering is free, providing training, support and co-ordination is not,” said Terry, so it’s important that we change the way we work over the coming period in or der to keep ourselves and local volunteering afloat.” “We have a way forward and I hope we will soon have a new Chairman to help us to achieve our goals.” ●

The East Hampshire Community Partnership is looking for two fair, committed and professional individuals to take on the important roles of Chair and Vice-Chair of our Local Strategic Partnership (LSP). The purpose of the Local Strategic Partnership is to encourage agencies to work together and share resources with the aim of improving the quality of life for people living, working and visiting East Hampshire. The Chair and Vice-Chair will be responsible for developing the work of the LSP and its members by offering leadership, commitment and vision. ● TO FIND OUT MORE about these positions and the work of the East Hampshire Community Partnership visit

Shay the lurcher was found straying in Four Marks earlier this year but his owner was never traced. He now belongs to Dave

We asked the EHDC Dog Wardens to answer the most frequently asked canine-related questions: WHAT DO I DO IF I FIND A STRAY DOG?

IS MICROCHIPPING EXPENSIVE?

The number one question that we are asked! If you have found a dog, call us and we will collect it during working hours. If we cannot locate the owner we will take it to a local boarding kennels until the owner comes forward. Dogs found at the weekend can be taken to a Reception Centre in Whitehill but you must deliver it to them during their opening hours. If you have found a dog in the evening, you are asked to hold on to it until the next day, then contact the Dog Warden or Reception Centre. If you have lost or found a dog contact EHDC’s Dog Wardens between 8.30am and 4.30pm on working days, on 01730 234318, or the Reception Centre between 9am and 5pm on weekends and bank holidays, on 07907 911069.

We charge £15. For this we will visit your home to chip your dog and will send the paperwork off for you. Microchipping involves injecting a microchip under the dog’s skin; it is not harmful and is as painless as a normal injection. We always scan found dogs for a microchip and this can help us return it to its owner directly.

IF YOU FIND A STRAY DOG CALL 01730 234318

ARE UNCLAIMED DOGS PUT TO SLEEP? Absolutely not! We will only put a dog to sleep if a vet recommends it for the dog’s own welfare or if the temperament makes the dog unhomeable. We received 213 strays between April 2009 and March 2010. 51 were re-homed, the rest were claimed by their owners.

PARTNERS

WHAT IS THE LAW ON DOG FOULING? It is an offence for the person responsible for a dog not to remove its faeces, even if it is bagged, from public land. We patrol the district but information from the public is the best way to combat the few irresponsible owners who do not comply with the law. If you see an offence let us know.

WHAT ABOUT DANGEROUS DOGS? If you have been bitten by a dog, you should report this to Hampshire Police on 0845 0454545. Contact us also and we will keep the incident on record. Allowing your dog to attack livestock or wildlife can be a very serious offence, so make sure your dog is under control. We can only cover a few issues in these pages but feel free to call on 01730 234360 if you have any other queries. We wish our human and canine readers a fine summer’s walking!

Environment matters

Shipwrights Way will be a

real asset A major new project is in the pipeline for the benefit of the whole of East Hampshire. The Shipwrights Way, which is being jointly led by Hampshire County Council and EHDC, will be routed across the spine of East Hampshire, for walkers, cyclists and riders alike. The precise route has yet to be finalised but the map (left) shows the possibilities. A feasibility study has been completed which identifies what work is needed to complete the multi-user route. If constructed the path would connect tourist attractions and train stations and provide easy off-road access across the district for cyclists, walkers and where possible, horse riders and disabled users. Leader of EHDC, David Parkinson is delighted that progress is being made. “This is a really worthwhile project for the district. It will be good for tourism and the rural economy by bringing spending power into the district, it will benefit residents who will have an enviable leisure trail on their doorstep. It will offer sustainable transport alternatives and improved access for disabled residents.” The intended path, which forms part of the larger route which links London to Portsmouth, will connect attractions such as Alice Holt Forest, Birdworld and Queen Elizabeth Country Park as well as train stations in Bentley, Liphook, Liss and Petersfield.

Overview of the possible route but the detail may change

Disability Forum celebrates 10 years

A wonderful facility: Judy Onslow with Paul Wiltshire

East Hampshire Disability Forum is celebrating 10 years of working for people with disabilities in our ar ea. The Forum is inviting interest from anyone, disabled or not, aged over 18 who would like to become involved in the forum’s work to represent the rights and interests of disabled people across East Hampshire. It is particularly keen to attract people with skills in public relations, marketing,

IT and fundraising. Parents and carers are welcomed. The forum is also seeking those from minority groups in terms of ethnicity, sexuality, language and faith. For an initial chat or information pack, call chairman Sue W illiams on 01730 823664 or email development worker Jan Nicholas on info@ehdf.org.uk A valuable resource for local people with physical disabilities now boasts a state of

the art IT suite thanks to a grant of £1,861 from East Hampshire District Council. The Petersfield Disability Resource Centre in Ramscote has used the money to buy new computers, software, touch screens and a special ‘rise and fall’ table which can go up and down at the touch of a button to allow wheelchair users to get it at exactly the right height. Paul Wiltshire from East Meon is a regular at the centre. He can’t wait to start using the new equipment: “This system will be perfect. I alr eady use computers quite a lot but now I can show some of the others who ar e also wheelchair users how to do it too. I think it will really encourage them to have a go!” Chairman of the council, Cllr Judy Onslow, visited the centre to see the new equipment being used: “This is a wonderful facility and I’m delighted that the council has been able to support it, particularly in the current economic climate where many small groups are struggling to survive as other sour ces of funding are cut. “I have been very impressed with the determination and courage of the people I have met here.” ● FOR MORE INFORMATION

Apprenticeships work EHDC is reaping the rewards from last year’s expanded apprenticeship scheme and has recruited talented and ambitious young staf f in a variety of jobs as a r esult. Our apprentices are delighted at the range of opportunities that working for EHDC has provided, helping them to develop employment and business skills to equip them for their futur e careers. A number of EHDC staf f have also had the opportunity of taking on the role of line manager and mentor to the appr entices, gaining invaluable experience as managing staf f. The success of the scheme has been the subject of a r ecent case study, published by the National Appr enticeship Service, which has highlighted the council’s scheme as an example of good practice. ● FOR INFORMATION about how the apprentice scheme might benefit your business see www.apprenticeships.org.uk/

Your health

Summer seaside tips If you’re heading to the beach this summer, spare a thought for safety. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is urging anyone beach-bound to choose a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags. Around two-thirds of people in the UK go to the seaside at least once a year . In 2009, RNLI lifeguards responded to 13,591 incidents, and saved 123 lives on some of the UK’s busiest beaches. The RNLI is offering ten essential beach safety tips for 2010: ● Always swim at a lifeguarded beach ● Swim between the red and yellow flags ● Never swim alone ● Know your beach safety flags ● Read and obey local hazard signs ● Never use inflatables in strong winds or rough seas

If you get into trouble, stick your hand in the air and shout for help ● If you see someone else in tr ouble, tell a lifeguard. If you can’t see a lifeguard call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguar d ● Research the beach you’re going to before you visit ● Check tide times before you go RNLI Beach Safety Manager, Steve Wills, comments: “You’re 500 times less likely to drown on a lifeguarded beach so we always recommend that people choose a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags. “RNLI lifeguards are specially-trained and a great deal of their work is to pr event incidents happening in the first place.” “Those who can’t make it to a lifeguarded beach should find out about their chosen beach before they go and ●

Chairobics is a fun, enjoyable and sociable way to increase your physical activity levels. Sessions combine movement with music and aim to improve strength, flexibility and mobility which will lead to improved health and wellbeing. Classes usually last for around 45 minutes and are taught by qualified exercise instructors. You can choose to remain seated throughout the class or progress to standing exercise once your confidence has increased. Chairobics classes are held all over the district and are a great way to meet new people, have some fun and keep active. Anyone is welcome to come to the classes and join in, you might like to bring a friend and give it a go! To find your nearest Chairobics class please contact our Active Lifestyles Co-ordinator on 01730 234067, or email louise.christie@easthants.gov.uk, liz.murray@easthants.gov.uk or go to

Chairobics in your own home!

A new Chairobics DVD has been developed by EHDC to help older people stay fit, keep on their feet and remain in their own homes for longer. It’s a fun and easy way of keeping healthy and maintaining that valuable independence and reducing the risk of having a fall. Led by a qualified exercise professional and compiled with the help of medical experts, the DVD follows a series of simple activities which can be carried out in the comfort of an armchair. Viewers can improve balance and co-ordination skills and enjoy the greater independence that comes with being steady on their feet. If you, or someone you know could benefit from the Chairobics exercise DVD order a copy today. Visit www.getactivenow.org.uk for more details and download an order form.

Environment matters

A new natural burial site in East Hampshire has moved a step closer to realisation following its successful planning application. Situated between Headley Down and Grayshott, the burial ground will be open to those who have chosen a more ecological and environmentally friendly ‘natural burial’, and it is hoped that the site – run by East Hampshire District Council – will be open for burials in 2011. Details on how Heatherley Wood will operate, plus information on how to book a plot, will be available in the New Year. The long-term aim is to transform the neglected 11 acre wood and marshland into a calm and tranquil green space that will be used for burials for many years to come. Natural burials, also called a woodland or green burials, use coffins made of sustainable materials such as wicker, native oak, pine, cardboard and cotton or felt shrouds. The graves are then hand dug to individual requirements instead of using machinery, and environmentally-damaging embalming fluids are discouraged. Natural burial is not affiliated to any religion and all are welcome to be buried and have a service of interment. Memorials such as trees, benches, and native planting will be preferred over headstones and grave markers. Natural burials have been possible in Hampshire since 2000 when the Sustainability Centre, near East Meon, opened its burial site. ● IF YOU WOULD like advice on natural burials please contact the Natural Death Centre on 0871 288 2098 or visit its website: www.naturaldeath.org

20th anniversary East Hampshire Parish Tree Warden Scheme

John Vigay and Jim Dickinson measure the girth of a tree which helps to determine its age

This year will mark the 20th anniversary of the East Hampshire Parish Tree Warden Scheme. As the first of its kind, the scheme became a flagship for other schemes around the country, and relies on the continued help from the volunteer tree wardens for its success. Many of the current wardens have been around for several years, a few of whom have been working for the scheme since its inception. The project is run by East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) in partnership with the local parish and town councils, and the tree council, and it was this type of project that inspired the name of this publication. In fact the tree wardens featured on the front page of the second issue of this magazine in 1990.

Tree calendar To celebrate the 20th anniversary the wardens have spoken to people around the district about their favourite trees and have taken an array of photographs. The best pictures have been used to produce a stunning calendar which will go on sale around the district shortly, and is a celebration of the trees of East Hampshire. The calendars will make magnificent presents, and will be supporting a worthwhile cause, so make sure you add this essential item to your Christmas list this year. Any profits from the sales will fund new tree planting schemes. Partners would like to wish the East Hampshire Parish Tree Warden Scheme a very happy birthday and continued success in the future. ● FOR FURTHER INFORMATION please contact Maria Stewart 01730 234214 maria.stewart@easthants.gov.uk

Over the years, the wardens – local volunteers with a desire to promote the importance of trees in the environment and landscape – have developed considerable experience and expertise which they are able to pass on to new wardens and to members of the public. “Tree wardens help us,” said district council Arboricultural Officer, Stewart Garside, “by monitoring planning applications and work on development sites. Wardens organise tree planting and hedge laying schemes, and offer advice on woodland and tree management: all of this is a great help to us and a huge benefit to the district.”

Recycling East Hampshire residents are among the top recyclers in the UK and thanks to your efforts the Council has won national awards for refuse and recycling. Our current doorstep collection service accepts the items for which there is a demand and which are easy to transport. There isn’t much point collecting things like margarine tubs or Tetra Pak drinks cartons which would be more costly in terms of cash and environmental damage to transport for reprocessing.

ITEMS THAT CAN BE PUT IN YOUR BLACK RECYCLING BIN ARE: newspapers/magazines and cardboard cans (clean food and drink ones) ● plastic bottles (clean and no lids, please) ● empty aerosols (without the skull and crossbones or black cross symbols). Do not squash or pierce the cans and please remove any plastic lids. ● ●

WHAT CAN’T GO IN THE BIN other plastics (plastic bags or hard plastics, like yoghurt pots or margarine tubs) glass (bottles and jars can go in your glass collection box or local bottle bank) ● shredded paper ● polystyrene ● Tetra Paks (drinks cartons) ● ●

RECYCLING TIPS There are lots of other items that can be recycled at recycling centres around the district. These include textiles, wood, metals, energy saving light bulbs and many other items. The tips also sell on some items as reuse is always better than recycling. ● FOR MORE INFORMATION see EHDC’s website, www.easthants.gov.uk or just enter ‘recycling east hampshire’ into your search box.

EHDC is working with Greening Petersfield to promote an Art of Recycling Exhibition, to demonstrate what can be made out of waste. Schools and colleges from around the district, as well as some professional artists, are producing artwork for the event. The exhibition will first appear at Petersfield Square on Sunday 15 August from around 10am. On Monday 16 August it will then be moved to the Forest Centre at Bordon by Reeves Removals, who are sponsoring the event. Finally it will be put on display at Alton College. ● FOR MORE INFORMATION see the events section on www.easthampshire.org
