OLD Basing Health Centre: Under the chairmanship of Peter Goddard, there are quarterly meetings between the patient participation group, the doctors and practice manager. If you require more information check the website odihamhealthcentre.co.uk.

“ACCESS only”: Following my representations to the county and parish councils concerning increased traffic volumes and inconsiderate driving, it's good to see the temporary signage on Hatch Lane, Byfleet Avenue, Park Lane and Binfields Road. Let’s hope this helps alleviate the worst problems prior to the introduction of a schedule of traffic management in the coming weeks. The parish council meets again next Wednesday, in the Pavilion Committee Room.

EDUCATION Sunday: The Bishop of Basingstoke will be celebrating the relationship between St Mary’s Church and local schools on Sunday, at 10am. Please note that there will be no service at 11.15am.

THE Women's Institute: Mark Nicholls is hosting a Twinings Tea Tasting next Tuesday, at 7.30pm in the Parish Room. More details on hampshirewi.org.uk. Click Hampshire and then choose Old Basing from the lists.
