Hampshire County Council Future Services Consultation
If you think it is important for East Meon to have a bus service and for Petersfield Recycling Centre to remain open PLEASE tell Hampshire County Council!
The Council is considering £132m cuts to services and our bus service and the Dump are under threat.
If you need the bus to visit the doctor or collect your prescription in West Meon or to go to the dentist or to see family in Petersfield or shop or your child wants to go to 6th Form College tell HCC you need the bus services to continue serving the village. If you believe that taking the bus is the environmentally friendly way to travel - tell HCC.
If you don’t want people fly tipping on country roads and want to recycle as much as possible as easily as possible and don’t want to have to drive to Bordon tell HCC you need the dump to remain open ( maybe for restricted times).
HCC has set up a special Consultation website which can be found at Hampshire County Council Future Services Consultation. The link is below:
Hampshire County Council Future Services Consultation
Scroll down to the button which says ”Give us your views”. When given the option you need to tick the boxes HWRCs ( Household Waste Recycling Centres) and Passenger Transport then complete the questionnaire stating why you think the Petersfield recycling centre should not be closed and the No 67 bus should not be axed. You will find the HWRC section fairly straightforward in the section on public transport you need to tick Winchester to be able to select East Meon’s No 67 bus.
The deadline for submissions is 31st March.
For East Meon residents providing services in rural areas is vital!
PLEASE HAVE YOUR SAY!

Welcome to East Meon Parish Council.
The historic parish of East Meon is located six miles to the west of Petersfield, Hampshire. It lies in a wide valley, bounded on its southern and eastern sides by the South Downs. The River Meon rises from a source to the south of the village and then flows through the village centre.
East Meon was an important Minster and Hundred in Saxon times. Both before and after the Norman Conquest it was a Manor of the Bishops of Winchester, who built the magnificent parish church of All Saints and the mediaeval manor house, The Court House. The village contains a number of ancient hall houses. It was chosen to be the ‘Domesday Village’ in 1986.
East Meon Parish Council hold 6 meetings a year which take place in the Village Hall at 6.30pm. All Parishioners are welcome to attend and the agenda for each meeting is available on the website and also on the village noticeboard. In addition to the regular meetings, the Annual Parish Assembly will take place in April.
