Hello everyone.

I am publishing the following letter from Winchester City Council concerning the proposed reorganisation of local government in Hampshire.

---

Please find below a link to the Commonplace platform which is hosting a survey for the twelve councils across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

https://ourplaceourfuture.commonplace.is/

You will see it has been separated into three sections using ‘tiles’ for people to answer each section.

The section called proposals for new councils contains each of the three map options.

There will also be some ‘about you’ questions.

there are paper versions/telephone options available for anyone who has difficulty completing online (see below) and there are also have a series of drop-in sessions so people can come along and speak with us to find out more.

You’ll see this promoted from this afternoon and through the lifespan of the survey, including via adverts in the Hampshire Chronicle and Portsmouth News, so please do share and encourage everyone to have their say.

Posters are on their way to you to be displayed in community notice boards where possible (attached is one version here too, as appreciate time is tight for the ones next week, if you are able to print locally)

Our drop-in sessions are:

Monday 7 July – Meadowside Leisure Centre, Whiteley 4pm – 7pm

Thursday 10 July – Alresford Market, SO24 9AG 9-1pm

Monday 14 July – Wickham Square (next to the Village Bakery) 3-6pm

Tuesday 15 July – South Wonston Sports and Recreation Pavilion 3-6PM

Monday 21 July – Colden Common Community Centre next to the Co-op 3-6pm

Wednesday 23 July – All Saint’s Church Hall, Denmead 4-7pm

Thursday 24 July – Winchester High Street, nr St Maurice’s Covert 9am-2pm

If you would prefer to take part in this engagement through a different method, such as completing questions on a paper copy or telephone interview, you can contact us to arrange this below. Our opening hours are Monday - Friday, 9:00 am - 18:00 pm.
