Parish council spirit of discovery
presentation gave some reassurance on that issue. On average, an
English parish council costs households £79 per year.
Besides the powers to improve life
on Hayling, a parish council with a
Local Plan for the Island would be
entitled to expect Havant to take
this plan into account when it decides on planning matters that affect
Hayling Island.
Plus, if there was further development on the Island, it would then
receive 25% of any Community
Infrastructure Levy from developers

Report on Hayling Parish Council
Public Meeting By John Meacham
ROGER Pettigrew from the
Hampshire Association of Local
Councils was the main speaker
at a recent public meeting at St
Patrick’s Church hall attended by
around 30 people.
He explained where parish councils fitted into the local government

attended in a spirit of discovering
more about this idea.
The organisers of the meeting,
Steve Van Hagen and John Meacham were pleased to see that
Councillor Mark Coates later took
to Facebook to support the proposal, ‘but with the caveat that any additional funding should be limited
to the national average (about £6
per month per category D house)
for the first three years and no more
than double that for the next three
years’.
Other councillors from other parties are sympathetic to the idea, so
this is a non-party political proposal. The immediate issue is to reach
the threshold needed so Havant
Borough Council has to examine
this idea, by the online petition
reaching the 7.5% of the electorate
signing it. A petition can be found
