Funding available for local sporting stars

The borough’s sporting stars are being invited to apply for sports funding through the Sports Grant Aid scheme funded by the council, and administered by Basingstoke Sports Council. The funding can be used to help with everything from travelling and coaching expenses to competition entry fees, equipment and clothing requirements.

Preserving the borough’s beauty

A plan to protect and enhance an area of outstanding natural beauty that covers nearly one third of the borough’s countryside has been approved by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. At a meeting on Tuesday 10 September, Cabinet agreed the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Management Plan, which sets out its vision for the next five years and replaces the previous management plan that expires this year.

Council makes climate emergency pledge

Urgent action to respond to the changing climate is underway in Basingstoke and Deane following the declaration of a Climate Emergency. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has taken the first important steps to tackling the issue head on by agreeing action must be taken to minimise our impact on the environment.

Our dog warden leads the way!

Reuniting lost dogs with owners, finding places for strays and looking after every dog in the council’s care is all in a day’s work for Laura Yeates, who has bagged a gold award for the fifth year. The council's dog warden has been awarded the RSPCA Gold Stray Dog PawPrint Award, acknowledging the quality of the service provided by Laura and those who work with her.
