It has been revealed today in the local press that train companies want a new £73million rail link across the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire . It has been proposed that under a plan backed by South West Trains that two new stations would open and a tracking running a line straight through the National Park would be put into place. The scheme has been put forward as they expect rail passenger numbers to soar over the next couple of years. It has been suggested that up to £70million would be ploughed in to the creating a station at Ringwood and revamp the track to Brockenhurst.
And on the Waterside, the line between Hythe and Totton would be opened to rail passengers for the first time in years. That scheme would only cost around £3million because the line is still operational but at the moment in mainly used just by freight trains.
The proposal, put forward by the Association of Train Operating Companies, has identified the two towns as main population centres which currently have no passenger rail services.
Author Chris Austin has been quoted as saying "idea could become reality within five to ten years. "

Hampshire School Gets £696,000 Boost
Thorndean school in Chandler’s Ford Hampshire is pumping £696,000 into sports facilities which will benefit both the students and indeed the local community. It has be outlined that the money will be used to put in a new floor, redecorate and extend the existing sports hall and to also include a conference room at the school. Head teacher Robert Sykes was quoted as saying: “This is excellent news for both pupils and community groups. This is something we have wanted to do for a long time."
“Sport benefits pupils because of the skills involved in learning an activity and the positive health effects. With better floors and facilities it will help our sports teams take things to the next level.”
He went on to say the school had demonstrated real sporting talent, with a badminton team that won the national finals and came seventh in an international competition. He said better facilities would help emerging sportsmen fine-tune their skills.
Funding for this very ambitious project has come from the school’s own funding, with a contribution from Hampshire County Council.

Isle of Wight Festival 2009
More than 50,000 music fans will descend on Hampshire this weekend to attend the Isle of Wight festival over the weekend. The live music extravaganza starts today, but the campsite doors were opennend up yesterday at mid-day. For the first time the festival will feature two stages, with headliners including The Prodigy, Stereophonics and Neil Young. And surprisingly the weather looks like it might be kind to everyone this year.
As the festival goers begin to arrive, Hampshire police were stepping up their operation to ensure it remains as safe and crime-free as possible. Campers are also being offered free biodegradable security bags so they can safely store valuables in their tents.
Isle of Wight Operations Inspector Terry Clawson said police have spent months planning with organisers and organisers preparing for the event, which runs until Sunday night.
“The event has a reputation as a good natured, family friendly event, but we must always prepare thoroughly for our role in maintaining safety and security amongst such a large gathering,” he said. “Although the festival has low levels of crime, police are putting a series of measures in place aimed at preventing and reducing thefts from people camping at the event.”
After a man was jailed in April for selling fake wristbands to get into the 2007 event, organisers have again promised to crack down on counterfeits. “I would urge anyone without a genuine ticket not to be tempted by any cut price alternatives,”

Plans for a waterfront arena for Southampton
A state of the art10,000-seat arena – similar in scale to the Echo Arena Liverpool – is the centrepiece of a grand new vision to redevelop Southampton’s Royal Pier and Mayflower Park. International A-list music acts, indoor sport events and temporary exhibitions could all be hosted at the stunning waterfront venue. A convention centre, casino and observation tower with views over the docks could also be incorporated in the new masterplan, which won’t be unveiled to the public until the Southampton Boat Show in September.
Under early plans presented to Southampton City Council, the arena will be at the heart of a development that could also feature restaurants, shops and some housing.
“We are not going to be a Wembley Arena or The O2, but we could realistically attract an audience of eight, nine or ten thousand given the right events.”
The plans are being drawn up by Scottish-based developers Kilmartin, who were last July awarded an 18-month exclusivity contract to create a masterplan for the waterfront around Royal Pier and Mayflower Park.

Gosport MP to put duck house in charity auction
Disgraced Hampshire MP Sir Peter Viggers has announcce that he will auction his notorious duck house for charity. The £1,600 pond ornament was thrust into the spotlight after it was revealed Sir Viggers paid for it using the money he had claimed on MP's expenses. Although the Stockholm duck house would normally only be expected to fetch a few hundred pounds if sold second-hand, there is a real possibility this particular one may go for far more for if collectors want something from the MPs' expenses scandal.
Apparently more than a dozen local charities have asked Sir Peter to donate the duck house. He said: "I've replied to the dozen or so people that have enquired that my wife and I are minded, in due course, to sell the thing for charity. "But in the present atmosphere we are letting the dust settle. We've had a lot of approaches and we aren't committing to this yet."
It does however seem the RIGHT thing to do !!!!

Move Evidence That Interest In Property Is 'Up Again'
Rising interest from potential buyers coupled with falling numbers of sellers is stabilising UK house prices, according to surveyors. New buyer inquiries increased for the seventh month in a row in May - at the fastest rate since 1999, said the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. But there were fewer sellers, continuing a trend of the last two years, the survey found. Two other surveys recently reported a rise in house prices in May.
The Rics survey, which has been running since 1978, takes a snapshot of the degree of confidence in the market from surveyors and estate agents across the UK. They reported that average sales were at their highest level since August last year.
However, at 11.8 properties sold per surveyor in the last three months, this remained 31% down on the same period a year earlier.
Rics members again suggested a further increase in potential new buyers window shopping for property, most notably in Scotland, London and the south-east of England.

Winchester's Race for Life
If you where in Winchester yesterday will not not have been able to miss this. River Park was a sea of pink yesterday as women and girls of all ages and fitness abilities gathered for the city’s sixth annual Race for Life. Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is the largest women-only fundraising event in the UK. Since 1994, women of all ages and fitness levels across the UK have come together at these inspiring events.
Some take part in celebration of surviving a cancer experience. Others take part in memory of a loved one or to give hope to a cancer-free future. But all of them share a common goal: to raise money for Cancer Research UK’s pioneering work to beat cancer. Every pound raised in sponsorship goes towards our vital work. This includes funding the work of over 4,500 scientists, doctors and nurses who are dedicated to help more people beat cancer.
An impressive 2,350 women took part in the 5k event to raise an estimated £157,000 for Cancer Research UK. Many of those walking or running the three-mile route around River Park chose to shun traditional sportswear, opting instead for eye-catching outfits and plenty of pink accessories.

Signs Of Recovery For The Housing Market
As reported over the weekend in the UK Press new figures confirm that the housing market is recovering and that the fall in house prices is beginning to level off. The Times are quoted as saying : One swallow doesn’t make a summer, but how about two? After the Nationwide reported a 1.2% rise in house prices in May, the Halifax went one better, saying they rose by 2.6%. The two measures differ on the year-on-year fall, the Nationwide’s 11.3% contrasting with the Halifax’s 16.3%, but they are telling a similar story. Are house prices bouncing back as quickly as they fell?
I don’t think so, and it would not be good news if they did. The housing market is slowly coming back to life after having its lifeblood, mortgage availability, cut off. The last thing we need is for prices to start surging again and it is unlikely that they will. Both Halifax and Nationwide attached health warnings to their numbers.
Nonetheless, a consistent story is now emerging in the housing market. Activity is slowly recovering and the fall in house prices is beginning to level off. A semblance of normality returning.

Planning Your First Garden
For all first-time home owners there are many new exciting challenges but perhaps one of the most rewarding of these is in planning your first garden. Many people look upon their garden as an extra room in the house, so getting it right is very important. So, before you start – just stop! Most people will simply drive off to the local DIY and garden centre and go and buy whatever they first lay their eyes on. Do not fall into this trap. Whilst is it very tempting to rush out and do this, it's a really good idea to take some time, sit down and begin planning your first garden project. Here are some simple things to bear in mind and they should ensure your first garden project is a not only huge success but very very rewarding..
Only plant your garden for your needs. This is important. If you have a very small garden but plant a large, strong fast growing tree or, you soon will not have any garden left, just an overpowering tree or bush. Or if you have a young family or even a cat or a dog, flowers like sweet peas are beautiful and very pretty to look at, but ultimately these plants are poisonous and could cause your family harm. Your first garden needs to be a safe place to be in.
Remember to only choose the plants that will do well in your area. It is always far easier just to work with plants that like the climate and the soil that you have. Ignoring this means that you will be spending time endlessly watering and weeding just to try and keep them from dying. A little research right at the beginning of the project will go a long way and save you lots of time later on
Prepare the soil in your garden before you start to do any planting. Working in a couple bags of garden manure or bedding compost into your garden before there is anything planted is fairly easy and relatively painless. Do this now as attempting to repair the soil once you have already planted and your plants are established is a massive task. Any wise gardener will tell you that the real trick to having a fantastic garden is by having healthy soil. With healthy soil your garden will be healthier and you will certainly have fewer problems with plant diseases, and aggressive weeds.
Finally know and understand just how much light your garden will get. You may have planned and planted a brilliant garden but if there is not enough sunlight for the planting you have chosen (or indeed in some case too much light) then your garden will never work. The right planting needs the right light, too much or too light and you will need to re-think your project.
However remember, gardens do not appear over-night – they are a long term investment. If you do not quite get it right this time around, there is always next time. Part of the fun of planning your first garden is actually learning as you go – seeing what works for you and indeed what works for your garden. With a little thought and planning your garden will be a great success.

D-Day runners stop off in Titchfield for a cuppa
As reported in the local Hampshire press today, armed with bacon and eggs, one branch of the Women’s Institute leapt into action to feed the troops as they invaded a quiet Hampshire village. The Titchfield branch launched a successful mission and fed all 200 soldiers taking part in a 65-mile run from Dorset to Northern France to commemorate D-Day. Stopping for a well-earned rest at Titchfield Community Centre at 5am yesterday, the runners enjoyed a cooked breakfast while getting some much-needed treatment for their feet.
The charity dash follows the same route that British troops embarked upon in June 1944, from Tarrant Rushton to seize the Pegasus bridge in Normandy a day later, the first combat operation of the D-Day landings.
Every runner was wearing a T-shirt bearing the name of one of the 186 infantry soldiers involved in the operation.

New Forest bikers are speeding off to Casablanca
Some adventurous bikers are aiming to raise thousands for a charity based in the New Forest Hampshire – by riding all the way to Casablanca and back. Four fundraisers, from mobile phone makers Sony Ericsson, are setting off in July and aim to ride all the way to the Moroccan city and back in just a week – a round trip of 2,600 miles. This means an average of about 375 miles per day some of it in very hot conditions. Team Bumblebee, consisting of Jason Smith, Paul Hobson, Chris Round and Simon Beech, are taking on the gruelling challenge to raise £10,000 for the Forest-based Honeypot charity, which helps vulnerable children throughout the country.
As spokeman for the team said : "We all like our home comforts, however to make the challenge even harder we are going to sleep under the stars, so will also need to carry all of our equipment on the bikes."
"The ride will truly be a test of our stamina, will power and the plain old ability to keep going! We will have no support apart from each other and what we can carry on our normal road going bikes (no adventure bikes here!)."

UK house prices 'up 2.6% in May'
Good news for the Estate Agents and the housing marketing as UK house prices rose by 2.6% in May compared with April but activity remains low in the market, according to the latest survey from the Halifax. The lender, now part of the Lloyds Banking Group, warned against placing too much weight on one month's figures. The rise came after three successive months of property price falls, it said. The annual rate of decline has now eased to 16.3% from 17.7% in April.
The average UK home now costs £158,565, the figures showed. Prices in the last three months compared with the previous three months are generally regarded as a less volatile measure of the housing market. "There are some tentative indications of a possible stabilisation in activity, albeit at a low level," said Nitesh Patel, the group's housing economist.
"It is always important not to place too much weight on any one month's figures. Historically, house prices have not moved in the same direction month after month even during a pronounced downturn." He pointed to the fall in house prices of 11% during 1991 and 1992, during which time there were still five monthly price rises.
The Bank of England reported earlier in the week that the number of new mortgages approved for home buyers in the UK had risen in April for the third month in a row.

Admirals Cup May Return To The Solent
Widely reported in the national press today that one of the world’s best known regattas is on the brink of returning to the Solent thanks to a cash boost from Southampton investment firm Skandia. The Admiral’s Cup – widely regarded as the world championships of offshore racing – saw nations battle it out on the water for the ultimate prize, before the event ran into financial trouble in 2003. But it could be set for a glorious comeback after the former sponsors of Cowes Week donated an undisclosed sum to event organisers the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC).
The club will use the money to carry out a feasibility study into bringing back the 52-year-old biennial event, which once saw Prime Minster Edward Heath captain one of Great Britain’s boats to victory. RORC chief executive Eddie Warden Owen said the study was the first step towards bringing the event back in 2011. He said: “This study is the first step to making the dream happen.
“It’s an enormous boost to the idea of bring back the Admiral’s Cup. “We want to see the Admiral’s Cup back as a world class regatta, deserving of its name. “It’s not just us talking the talk – it really could happen.”
Skandia sponsorship manager Tim Sewell added: “The history and heritage of the Admiral's Cup is immense.

Estate agents report rise in sales
The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) has reported that its members sold more houses in April than in any month since October 2007. The average estate agency branch sold ten properties last month, up from eight in March and a record low of five in August 2008. The Association’s chief executive, Peter Bolton King, says: “What we are beginning to see now are consistent positive indicators that have held firm or improved since the beginning of the year.”
He believes that British attitudes towards property ownership will not be fundamentally changed by the recession and that confidence is returning to the market.
Referring to recent figures published by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) showing a rise in lending for house purchasers, Mr King comments: “Every measure by every organisation has shown that the fall in house prices is slowing, and it is understandable that those people who have access to finance want to take advantage of that and reap the rewards when the market begins to bounce.”

Tips On Choosing The Right Removal company
Whether you're moving just a few doors down, around to the next road, all the way to another town or city, or even making that big move to another country, choosing the right removal company can will make the world of difference to you and could help to make the whole process fairly stress free. So, how do you choose the right removal company and can you really be sure that is reliable. Most importantly of all – will they actually help or indeed hinder the whole moving process.
Really the first question that you should really ask yourselves is do you actually need a removal company? Well this is one project that you should never underestimate. There is a huge amount both of physical effect and mental planning to move the contents of your home to a new one. Simply packing boxes full of your belonging is one thing, but moving them in and out of removal vans and into your new property is another. This is very physically demanding and if you are on a very tight deadline will lead to you becoming very stressed. So it is a good plan to appoint a removal company to take on board all your worries, so you can concentrate on organising the rest of your move to your new home..
Do not just skim the Yellow Pages or the internet and pick a company at random.Get a number of quotes from several companys. Make sure that you get these quotes well in advance of any proposed completion date – never leave it to the last minute. If the company are any good they will normally be booked up well in advance.. When you get your quote take into account the price, the service you will receive and when the removal company are able to conduct the move for you. For extra ease and convenience, many larger removal companies will offer a packing service, too, so that you can be confident that everything will be taken care of. Some will give you an instant indicative quote online, but it's better to actually speak to someone from removal company – if you can go and visit the offices – this will give you a good feel for the company and exactly how professional they are. Some removal companies will send out a sales estimator to see what you have to move and access your existing property for easy of access. This allows them to price the quote more accurately and in turn should help you appoint a removal company more easily, quickly and with some confidence..
The whole quotation process could take a couple of weeks and agreeing on an available date might take another few weeks, so give yourself enough time to pick a removal company. Remember, many of the better removal companies are booked up many many weeks in advance, so it pays to start looking for a removal company as soon as you can and of course this should be well before your completion date is due.
Most removal companies will provide you with dedicated moving insurance against loss or breakages of your property while it's in transit. Make sure this is the case before booking anyone. You could also contact your existing home contents insurer to find out if your current policy will insure your property while it's being moved, too. This being the case you could save yourself some money on taking out additional insurance for the removal transition.
It goes without saying the you should at all costs avoid the cowboys! It's a good idea to check that any removal companies you contact are members of either The British Association of Removers or The National Guild of Removers and Storers. These two organisations are dedicated to providing excellence in the removals industry for the benefit of both removal companies and you their customers. They set standards and a code of conduct for their members, so you should be reassured of their professionalism and conduct at all times. Look out for the logo of both of these associations when looking for a company to use.
If you take all of these factors into consideration then your choice of removal company will be a good one and your move should be painless and stress free.

Vintage cars in the firing line of resident bats
EVERY evening, staff at a Hampshire tourist attraction take part in a bizarre guessing game. Employees at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, try to work out which of the historic cars are likely to be damaged during the night by bats living in the roof. About 100 bats are thought to have taken up residence in a replica of a 1930s garage in the main exhibition hall.
At night they fly out and leave their calling card on some of the cars on show, damaging the paintwork.
Staff attempt to protect the collection by covering vehicles beneath the creatures’ flightpath – but choosing the right ones is driving them batty. Cars in the danger zone include a Sunbeam that set a new land speed record of 129mph an hour in 1922.
Museum attendant Andrew Farr said: “We do what we can but we don’t know where the bats will go.”

Hot Hot Hot Hampshire
HAMPSHIRE was basking in scorching temperatures again yesterday. Weather forecasters predicted that the mercury would climb to 27C (81F), the hottest day of the year so far. People grabbed their buckets and spades and flocked to the beach yesterday to make the most of “wall-to-wall” sunshine. Travel experts said there was congestion on roads leading to most coastal areas.
Traffic Masters head of travel Ross Gould said the A31 westbound through the New Forest towards Bournemouth and Poole had had the most notable problems.
He said: “The beachside resorts are hotspots for the holiday traffic. In the UK if there is any hint of sunshine people head straight to the coast.” Matt Dobson, forecaster at MeteoGroup, said yesterday's highest temperatures fell short of the 26.5C (80F) reached on Friday, which was the hottest day of the year so far.
He added that the south enjoyed temperatures of up 21C (70F) by the sea.
