Petersfield Town Council has issued an update on the status of the open spaces it manages:
All gated play areas remain closed; as are the skate park and car park at Love Lane; the Bell Hill car park is also closed; as are the boardwalk, toilets and boating facilities at the Heath. However, the Heath car parks are open, and anglers need to follow advice from the Heath Pond Association before dipping their lines – call 07920 102 623.
The tennis courts at the Avenue are partially open – just courts two and four, currently – as are the basketball facilities at both The Avenue and Woods Meadow. Keep checking the town council website for up-to-date information.
New online resources have been created by Hampshire County Council’s careers specialists, Hampshire Futures, for young people heading towards school leaving age or moving on to college or training in September.
It has developed a wide range of new online careers information on its ‘Your Future’ website, including details of sixth form and college careers contacts and the arrangements being made for virtual interviews and open events.
The website is being updated regularly with online resources, frequently asked questions and careers-related videos and quizzes. The varied content is aimed at young people, parents, carers and professionals. and will support decision making and career planning; and help address any uncertainty young people may have about their next steps.
Students can also arrange a face-to-face careers guidance appointment with a member of Hampshire Futures, which can be conducted virtually. Any young person in Year 11 who would like to take up this opportunity should contact their school’s careers adviser or email careers.service@hants.gov.uk. And the link for the Hampshire Futures website is available in the transcript of this Morning Report, on our website.
Community groups have until the end of the month to apply for a share of £1million from East Hampshire District Council.
In 2019 the council set aside £1m over a three-year period to support local charities and organisations with grants of up to £25,000. Now in its second year, the application criteria have been changed to allow groups to fund projects that support the recovery from coronavirus.
Community groups can apply to the fund for a three-year funding agreement or for up to £25,000 for a one-off project to fit the following criteria:
- Supporting positive mental health in residents, particularly in young people
- Reducing social isolation in residents, in particular with older people
- Supporting the recovery from coronavirus
For more information on the grants and how to apply, use the link on our website. I wonder if Petersfield Community Radio should apply … ?
Today’s first guest is a real local treasure … Sarah Heyworth. Or at least she runs a company called Local Treasures, which connects people who need home chores doing, with those who have the requisite skills.

Jack Darcy emailed team@petersfieldradio.uk to say his dog-walking service is fully up and running – or at least walking – for anyone who needs help during the continued restrictions and isolation.
He can also help with pet feeding, nail clipping and day sits and offers discounts for NHS workers. You can book Darcy’s Dog Walking service by email at darcysdogwalking@gmail.com or call 07889 874 926.
Bedales School has announced two further shows in its online series. The first is Driftwood, by Casus, which will run until May 21st. Driftwood is a circus show that does not let you forget that to feel is to be human and in a moment of danger, a grasping hold is survival.
The second is the Summer Rock Show on Friday, June 26th, which, for the first time, is being created, performed and streamed online. The Rock Show has become a remarkable demonstration of the extraordinary talent and versatility of Bedales students and you can join its contemporary musicians as they play together across the globe in support of the school’s John Badley Foundation.
As previously, there are no fixed prices for these events as Bedales has created them with a ‘Pay What You Can’ ticket scheme. Visit bedales.org.uk/events for further information.

During National Mental Health Awareness week, which begins on Monday, pupils at Churcher’s College will not have to do any homework. It’s one way of helping to reduce stress and anxiety over deadlines.

TRAVEL
If you’re heading up the A3 this weekend you’ll want to know that it will be closed northbound from the Longmoor Junction, near Liphook, to Milford, from 9pm tonight until 6am on Monday.
A signed diversion route will be in place but it does mean you’ll need to allow extra time for your journey. Looking ahead to next week, the same stretch will also be closed overnight from Monday to Friday. Jolly good … was that sarcastic enough?
We have a sneaking feeling that the much-publicised traffic control in operation through Stroud and Langrish may be more phantom roadworks … please tell us if you know one way or another. We haven’t seen them.
So, with that in mind, forgive us if we remain sceptical about scheduled Hampshire County Council works which are supposed to take place early next week in Frenchmans Road. If they do materialise, there will be traffic control in operation.
WEATHER
Fine today, with some warm sunny spells after a chilly start. It should feel a little warmer than in recent days, helped by the lighter wind – to be fair it would be difficult not to feel warmer than Wednesday evening, even the frost put on a jacket then. And, sadly, it’s likely to be chilly again this evening. The maximum daytime temperature is 17°C.
The outlook for the weekend is fine, with sunny spells into Monday, with daytime temperatures starting to climb. Some chilly nights remain possible, but frost should become less likely.
