Community Welcome Packs 

Whether you've just moved in or are planning your move, we’re so glad to have you join our community. While many of our residents have called the village home for years, we're always excited to welcome new families. As a small gesture, new residents receive a welcome letter from our Chairman and a jar of seasonal ‘Community Kindness’ jam, handmade by a local volunteer.  

If you haven’t received your welcome pack yet, or would like to request one please find the details below:

Annual Parish Meeting & Resident Survey Results

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Annual Parish Meeting. Your time, questions, and contributions are genuinely appreciated.

A special thank you to our guest speakers — Hampshire Police, Watership Down Health, HCC Cllr. Juliet Henderson, and BDBC Cllr. Paul Harvey — for sharing their updates and insight with the community. We would also like to thank our Parish Chairman, Cllr. Gary McAllister, who was unable to attend in person but kindly provided a video update for residents.

We’re grateful to all residents who attended and helped make the evening constructive and engaging.

A sincere thank you to everyone who completed our first-ever Parish Council Resident Survey earlier this year. Your feedback has provided valuable insight into the issues, priorities, and opportunities that matter most to our community.

We are pleased to share the survey results and appreciate the time taken by all those who participated. Your views help inform the work of the Parish Council and support future planning and decision-making.
