• 2022 Village Show - TBD August 2022

  The 2020 Village Show has now been rescheduled for TBD August 2022.

  Following the cancellation of the 2021 Village Show because of corona virus we are delighted to announce a new Village Show date of TBD August 2022. The show normally runs bi-annually so this moves it into the year we would normally not hold a show.

  We plan to run the same programme as we were intending to run in 2020/1 so any preparation is not wasted! Watch out for more news in coming months as we prepare for the new date date.

  We obviously hope that coronavirus will be behind us by then

  Keep safe everyone

  The Show Committee

• Somerley Recycling Centre

• Please be considerate over bonfires!
  • We continue to receive complaints of some residents burning their waste on bonfires. We would ask that residents be considerate to their neighbours and avoid having garden bonfires at this time.
  • Smoke from bonfires can aggravate health issues for vulnerable residents, cause additional stress to those trying to enjoy their outside space, and the risk from uncontrolled fires could impact on an already stretched fire service.  
  • If you are subjected to the above; then, to maintain good neighbour relations, you may wish to discuss the matter with your neighbour(s) or the manager etc. of the neighbouring premises if it is a business, as they may not be aware that there is a problem.
  • NFDC advise residents to store their waste until it can be collected or composted. Should frequent bonfires which impact on another property continue to occur, residents may wish to make a formal complaint see http://www.nfdc.gov.uk/bonfires if it is a constant problem.
• Household Waste Recycling Centre - Car Registration
  • Hampshire County Council are changing the ways that we are allowed to use Household Waste Recycling Centres such as Somerley. The centres will be installing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems which will automatically check the council database for your registration. There is a need to pre-register your car. If your car is not registered there will be a £5 charge per visit. The £5 charge will apply to all those not registered or visiting from outside the Hampshire catchment area.
  • The link to register vehicles is

• Whitsbury Calendar

  With the cancellation of the Village Show we will defer the calendar until 2022. The calendar will be for the calendar year 2022. So we would like to ask everyone in the village to get involved and submit a photograph or two taken around the village that encompasses something of the village feel, a village landmark or favourite village view. A flyer as shown below has been circulated to all houses in the village and a new e-mail account set up at calendar@whitsbury.com to send entries or ask questions.
