ONLINE SHOPPING - Beware of phishing emails from unknown shops, offering good deals as part of Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Criminals can clone websites and post them under different web addresses so they look official. Do your research, have others used the site & what was their experience. Search for both the website address and the name that appears on the website's branding as the two may be different. If different reviews come back for both, this should be considered suspicious. If in doubt look at NCSC guidance for online shopping www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/shopping-online-securely

Example picture below: Cloned website whose address is not related to the shops name.

We will be singing 3 songs during the Lantern Parade on Saturday at the library and at Netley Court Care Home. The words can be found in the attachment below. 

We would like to say a massive thank you to the Co-op and to everyone who chose the new play area at Butlocks Heath as their local community scheme to support each time they shopped in the co-op. 

Your generosity has meant that a total of £5'804.98 was presented to us earlier today in the Station Road co-op. This money makes a huge difference as the new play area was paid for by a combination of Developer's Contributions and from the our ear marked reserves. We will now use this money and leave this amount in the ear marked reserves to put towards the future replacement of the play area on the Station Road Recreation Ground.  

The Parish Office is pleased to be a registered drop off point for this years Wave 105 Mission Christmas Toy Appeal. The appeal aims to help ensure that every child in the South receives a gift this Christmas.  

We will be accepting gifts until Wednesday 11th December if you would like to drop any off. 

Each year the Hampshire Association of Local Councils (HALC) award a Council the prestigious title of Local Council of the Year for Hampshire at their AGM.

The award is in recognition of the fantastic work that is done across Hampshire by the many Town and Parish Councils. All Town and Parish Councils consist of volunteers who give up their time to improve their areas and work hard to try and ensure that each decision made is in the best interests for everyone that it may affect within their local community. 

We are incredibly proud to announce that this award has been added to the 2 awards we won in the Village of the Year Awards in September. These were for Best Community Initiative and Inspirational Individual for Councillor Simon Guillan and also the 2 runners up places in the Best Community Event and for Community Engagement. 

It is the first time that we have won the Local Council of the Year award and is testament to the hard work and many voluntary hours put in by your Councillors to try and make Hound the best place to live. 

The NHS are launching a new campaign - USE THE RIGHT SERVICE which will help people access the correct NHS service. 

Use the Right Service promotes alternatives to A&E for non-emergencies, such as home care, pharmacies, 111 and urgent Treatment Centres (UTCS) and is designed to support the reduction of pressure on A&E at Southampton General Hospital. 

Use the Right Service has its own website – https://usetherightservice.com/– and has been formed
through a collaboration of 10 partners across the region:

• Care UK
• Hampshire County Council
• Partnering Health Limited (PHL)
• Solent NHS Trust
• South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust
• Southampton City Clinical Commissioning Group
• Southampton City Council
• Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust
• University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
• West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group

The NHS staff are very keen to ensure that people access the right NHS service, receive the highest quality care and to ensure that A&E and 999 services are used for those that urgently need them. 

The examination of Eastleigh Borough Council’s Local Plan will start on Thursday 21 November at 10am. 
All the hearing sessions will all be held in the Millennium Suite at the Botleigh Grange Hotel, Grange Road, Hedge End, Southampton, Hampshire, SO30 2GA. The hearing sessions of the Examination have now been arranged and will run for a period of six weeks on the following dates:

The diversion routes to be used during the closure can be found at the end of this e-bulletin.
