Hook, on the extremity of Hart District, often seems to be the dumping ground for more houses. This year, your councillors have increased from ten to twelve. These include three new faces - Antony Hunter, Gillian Morgan and Martin Whittaker. Elsewhere you will be able to read their notes in this report. Also a word of thanks to Frank Sopwith, who is our Cemetery Administrator - a thankless task that often demands a sensitive and caring approach.
Vandalism is an on-going problem.
Amongst other mindless acts, a child's swing at the John Morgan Close play area was damaged and safety surfaces at Hartletts Park were dug up. Late night vandalism has also occurred at Wellworth's park. Do please report such acts if you see them taking place. The Parish Council is actively involved in supporting many activities beneficial to the village. Hook Action Group and the Odiham Cottage Hospital received financial support.
