HEDGES, town projects and planning are due to be discussed at the next meeting of the Romsey Forum.

The forum, which was set up 30 years ago, will be held at Romsey Town Hall on Thursday, June 27 at 7.30pm.

This will be the first of the year after the March meeting was cancelled following the sudden death of the chairman and popular Romsey man Mark Edgerley in February. 

Test Valley borough councillor and Mayor of Romsey John Parker will be taking the chair.

Ellie Banks, project officer at the countryside charity CPRE, will be telling residents about the Hampshire Hedge Project.

Jennifer Adams will also be discussing Green Corridors, a Romsey Future project. A round-up of the last planning applications will be provided. 

The Romsey Forum is open to all and is an opportunity for residents to find out about the latest projects and ask questions in a more informal setting than a council meeting. 

Over the last year, they have had speakers from St John's Hampshire, Dragonfly Power Community Energy Group, Southern Water and updates on the south of town centre masterplan which includes the proposed relocation of the Crosfield Hall.
