Grant for Bishopstoke Guides

Bishopstoke Parish Council is pleased to announce that it has agreed to grant £2,000 to Bishopstoke Guides to help with the costs of new fire safety equipment and updating their kitchen. 

​

Y-Zone Anti-social Behaviour

As part of efforts to reduce the amount of anti-social behaviour on Blackberry Drive Bishopstoke Parish Council is moving the benches from outside the Y-Zone to a new location, behind the car park. It is hoped there will be less incentive for people to congregate by the Y-Zone, and that the benches will be more useful to the local community in their new location.

​

Bishopstoke Parish Council has submitted an objection to the proposed relocation of the Blackberry Drive junction with Fair Oak Road and the package of road proposals between Allington Lane and Sandy Lane. For the full text of the objection please see the Parish Council website.
