Next year, TVBC's elections take place, when all of our councillors are up for re-election.
Our democratic team is running sessions in Romsey and Andover next month to help those who are thinking of standing to represent their community. So, if it's something you might be interested in, click the button below to find out more.
Bid made to help boost masterplan
In 2019, the Andover masterplan was formed, seeking to revamp the town centre and make more of the river than runs alongside and through the town.
Since then, TVBC has been conducting studies and seeking a developing partner to bring some of these plans to life, such as the new Town Mills area. This week, a bid was made to central government for the Levelling Up Fund to help fund some of this work.
Up to £20m has been sought as part of the bid to help towards accelerating delivery of the Andover masterplan and improving the lives of those who live in and around the town centre as a result.
The money would be used to deliver a stunning riverside park along Western Avenue, transform the riverside footpath south of Bridge Street, demolish the former magistrates’ court building, and create a spectacular new cultural hub in the town centre which would include the relocation of The Lights theatre.
With the summer here (certainly if today's weather is anything to go by!), many residents will be off on holidays. Some may take their furry friends with them, but others may be looking for somebody to look after them while they're away, instead.
Anybody who is looking after other people's pets needs to make sure they're up with all the regulations, and that's where TVBC comes in! If you're looking after pets for others, please contact us so our animal welfare officer, Rod, can help make sure everything is in place. Equally, if it's a business, ensure they are correctly licensed to give your friend the best care possible while you're away.
Businesses who are offering day care or home boarding for dogs will also have a license or what's called an 'out of scope' letter, and those looking to start the new business doing so could be eligible for a start-up grant, too.
If you have any questions or want to speak to us, please contact 01794 527700 or 01264 368000 and you can contact Rod via those numbers too.
