HBC Staying Safe Advice!

From Saturday 4 July, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and some other public venues, will be able to open for the first time since lockdown began. If you use these businesses, you'll be making a vital contribution to the recovery of the local economy - but please do so safely.

Anti-Social Behaviour

Letter to July Hayling Herald: Dear Editor, Illegal overnight beach camping and parking, late night noisy, brightly lit parties, blatant speeding along Sea Front and other straight Hayling roads, badly disturb and distress residents.

Save Our Island Deputation

Also published on Havant Borough Council's website re Cabinet Meeting 01-7-20: As the Cabinet meets to agree to recommend the pre-submission Local Plan to the full Council, we are duty-bound on behalf of the Hayling Island residents to reiterate our opinion that the Plan, in respect to Hayling Island, is incomplete. In its current form it does not satisfy the Government requirement that any development is accompanied by an economic and sustainable infrastructure. It was not
