Guest speaker at the September meeting was Sarah Ward, from Fareham Borough Council, speaking about the plans for Welborne Garden Village.
The idea is to make sure the development has character and is a community that people want to live within, rather than just a housing estate. The start of the building work has been delayed a few years already, but is progressing through the planning process and will begin with the improvements to Junction 10 of the M27. The 6,000 new homes will then be built in phases over the next twenty years, along with amenities and green spaces.
There were plenty of questions from the club members, as you’d expect. On the way out of the presentation one member said: “She did a good job; I quite fancy living there myself now!”
