WONSTON PARISH COUNCIL

Local flood monitoring

Latest Groundwater Report from the Environment Agency (March 2026) added

9/3/26 Water levels have continued to fall evident from the flow opposite Victoria Hall and at the Bogmoor sump. We were thwarted in having the pipes under the A30 jet cleaned by the presence of small fish in the sump! Just how they got there is a mystery since the winterbourne rises up through the ground.

25/03/26 New Unitary Authorities

Winchester City Council will disappear and be a part of the combined Mid Hampshire Council comprising parts of New Forest, parts of Test Valley, Winchester less Newlands and parts of East Hampshire. Elections for the new authorities to be held in May 2027 and the new authorities will take over all services in April 2028.

Recently added Rural Crime Guide - advice for farmers, landowners and rural residents from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary.

Wonston Parish, one of the 40 or so Parishes that make up Winchester District, usually called Winchester City, comprises the villages of Suttton Scotney, Wonston, Stoke Charity, Norton and Hunton - quite a small population but a surprisingly large area of land, with all of the social and environmental issues which concern people in rural England.

The lowest rung on the local government ladder is the voluntary Parish Council which strives to represent the views of the community to the higher authorities at District and County level, and even on occasion to Central Government level along with other like minded parishes. Particularly in the planning field, the Council tries to ensure that planned new housing and conversion work maintains the traditional values which village communities cherish. The Council also actively encourages the various public authorities to do their jobs in maintaining and repairing roads, drainage, communication and the like. In fact, the Council takes an interest in almost every facet of village life.

The Council normally meets on the second Wednesday of each month (except August) in the Victoria Hall, Sutton Scotney, starting at 7.30pm. Parishioners are most welcome to attend these meetings, and are especially encouraged to attend the Annual Parish Meeting which is held in May, usually the day following the Parish Council Meeting.

Full details of the times and locations of meetings are on the agenda which is available each month on this website, and the noticeboards around the Parish

The Council is determined that its activities on behalf of the parish should be open to all interested parishioners and there is indeed a statutory requirement that this should be so.
