Hiltingbury Lakes transformation

Hiltingbury Lakes transformation

The transformation will start this autumn

Major improvements to Hiltingbury Lakes, the popular beauty spot in the north of the Borough, get under way in the autumn.

Following consultation with local people, the Chandler’s Ford & Hiltingbury Local Area Committee approved £260,000 for a restoration project at the 17-acre woodland site that is a haven for wildlife. The funding includes contributions made by developers of local housing sites.

The works will help improve water flows through the lakes, as well as removing invasive non-native vegetation and improving footpaths and signage. Measures to discourage rats are also included.

Local residents can find out more at the Hiltingbury Extrav community event on Sunday 22 September.
