The majority of those attending our recent AGM put excellent questions for over an hour to NorseSE's Peter Vincent and Bob Bedford. Mr. Vincent made copious notes and promised to follow up every issue. An abiding theme was the need for there to be supervisory follow-up of NorseSE's staff re their work on Hayling so everyone should be sure to bring to Mr. Vincent's attention, by email or letter, any future concerns they may have. Recycling and Waste Management is very clearly a hot topic that we neglect at our peril: Havant only recycles around 30% of its waste rather than the 50% national target already achieved in many areas. A member later highlighted that 2 days later Sunday Politics
Monday's October 28th 2019 Operations & Place-Shaping Board Meeting (Agenda and papers available from HBC) gave its Councillor Panel members the opportunity re Agenda Item 5 to hear and question Southern Water, Environment Agency, Natural England (Government body) and Cabinet member covering planning Cllr. Tim Pike. Disappointingly, we understand that principally only the Chair, Cllr. Sue Lloyd (Purbrook, controversial Campdown Dev't proposed in her Ward), and Cllr. Clare Satchwell pressed questions and concerns of these bodies.

Good evening everyone, Firstly, thank you so much for your terrific efforts in delivering the first edition of the Hayling Herald. The 10,000 copies went in less than a week! What a way to launch a paper! The second edition is being printed at 7.30am on Thursday morning. Jerry will start doing the big drops from tomorrow but the majority will be from 9am on Friday morning and will be finished by the end of the day. If there are any changes to the numbers you need, please do tell me asap. If you can no longer deliver for us that's no problem at all. We will take you off the list. The distribution is by far the most difficult part of producing the Herald. If any of you are able to pick up your

Congratulations to Jerry and Elise for putting together an Island-focussed newspaper, a truly local venture, good for the whole community on so many levels. Hayling’s Infrastructure Advisory Group, comprising Service Providers and residents’ groups, is still waiting to view Havant Borough Council’s re-worked Hayling Transport Assessment. Despite repeated requests to continue contributing valuable input, the Group’s residents can now only hope for a truly ‘sustainable’ Assessment result later this Autumn. At an ‘Environmental Forum’ presentation by Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership, HIRA and other local residents’ groups were reminded that Hayling’s mid-western and eastern coastlines will be
