A local Hayling Council?
Havant Borough Council will disappear into a bigger, more remote Unitary Authority in Spring 2028. Instead of being at the heart of local decision making, as we are today with Havant, Hayling will be on the outer edge.
That's why over 1,400 islanders petitioned Havant for our own Parish (or Town) Council, and now we have until
Monday 23rd March to VOTE for Stage 2
of the consultation, where we find out in more detail how it would work. We will then get a final YES/NO.
This might be our last chance for at least 5 years. Have your say by MONDAY 23RD MARCH !!!
What could it do?
A Hayling Parish Council could:
-
Take over and protect some very local services that make Hayling so special, such as our open spaces, parks, beach, Billy Trail, allotments, community centres, car parks, toilets, etc.
-
Speak up louder for Islanders on local issues, such as planning and transport.
-
Ensure that income earned on Hayling is spent on Hayling.
