June Road Closure in Oliver's Battery
Oliver's Battery Parish Council has decided to re-surface the section of Compton Way between Oliver's Battery Gardens and and Priors Way. This is the very rough stretch leading down to the Recreation Ground and is technically not a road at all but a bridleway. Work is expected to start in June and take a couple of weeks.
Here is the road closure notice from Hampshire County Council:

ALTERNATIVE ROUTES: Not available.
PERIOD OF CLOSURE: From 11 June for a period of one month or until completion of the works whichever is sooner.
Reasonable facilities will be provided to allow access to adjacent premises while the work is being carried out.

Winchester Mayfest Pics
Winchester Mayfest took place on Saturday. A new (I think) name for Winchester's annual Folk Festival. Great fun and the city was really buzzing all day. Here are a few more pics for anyone who missed it.

The Winchester Result
Liberal Democrats gained 1 from Conservatives (Compton & Otterbourne) and 2 from Labour (St Luke and St John).
Conservatives gained 1 from Liberal Democrats (Owslebury & Curdridge).
New council: C 29, LD 23, Ind 4, Lab 1
So the Tories retain overall control by one seat, having scraped home in Whiteley by 19 votes. From a Lib Dem perspective a great improvement on last year and a firm base for next year's elections. All 3 of the Lib Dem gains were in wards within the boundary of the new Winchester parliamentary seat, so good news for our prospective candidate, Martin Tod, too.
