BEGGARWOOD Post Office: Changes to the post office service offered at Beggarwood Co-op will be implemented later this month.

The counter will close for one day, on Monday, September 22.

Counter services will then be offered as part of the retail counter. This means that the post office till will be open from 7am until 10pm every day, although a small number of services will not be available.

POTENTIAL new allotments: Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is looking at improving the availability of allotments and reduce waiting lists.

Potential new sites for allotments are being considered, and among these are sites off Danebury Road and in Beggarwood Park.

WHAT Wine Quiz: Following the success of the beer festival last weekend, the next big event at the community centre is the What Wine Quiz, on Saturday, October 11. The £15 cost includes wine, the quiz and a cheese platter. For tickets, contact the community office on 01256 811262.
