A HIRA member has created an Incidents Log for you and anyone else you know on Hayling, to note down any past (eg over last few years), current and future incidents caused by Southern Water's system failures eg burst pipes, tankers to empty holding tanks, overflows, WC backing up etc. We would like this to be returned to us asap after August 31st so that we have a record of such events on Hayling. Obtain your copy directly from us (eg via website contact form or following email) then email your log back to HIRA's hello@haylingresidentsassociation.co.uk or it can be printed/copied off, put into an envelope marked HIRA & left at one of our 4 drop boxes detailed on our website.

Yesterday's Meeting on Hayling's future Health provision was the first time that our local new, innovative Primary Care Network (PCN) plan has been shared, and Dr. Hannah Morgan Clinical Director and GP Lead for our new Network of Elms, Waterside, Emsworth Medical Practices, is very keen indeed to have discussions with residents and local groups in order to find how we can work together for everybody's better health. Please note: this is a very new scheme so it's important not to be cynical and to make the most of what we are being offered.

This sent in by a member concerned about West Town and the consequences of this next windfall. I've included their comments but do please check out the details for yourself & make any comments that you wish to directly onto the online Comment facility - and let other residents know about it together with your Councillors! If no-one comments on this or any Application then the assumption is that there are no views by residents. Incidentally it is exactly this kind of windfall that residents - both locally and nationally - have been so vocal against because, cumulatively, these are not factored in to a Local Plan yet their impact on our Infrastructure is, cumulatively, considerable.

For those living on Hayling there is ongoing and tangible evidence that Southern Waters’ assurances are not being met; yet again the sewer system failed.
