Joint Venture Results in Footie Fun

• L to R Top Silvis, Malcolm Anderson, Cllr Eddie Holtham, PC Lampard (Police Liaison Officer)  L to R Bottom with local youngsters Jack and Sam. .

Many young people in the Holbury area had told PC Lampard that they wanted something to do in the evenings, and suggested some football goal posts.

Following talks between PC Lampard, the local liaison police officer, and Fawley Parish Council, it was agreed to erect the posts in the Hobson Way, Play Area. Cllr Eddie Holtham approached CHB Jorden for assistance and the workshop supervisor, Martin Jackson, readily agreed to make and donate them.

The posts were erected in time for the Spring Bank Holiday, and have been regularly used since.

PC Lampard has said that there has been a marked reduction in the number of young people hanging around the shops in the Holbury Drove Precinct, and local residents are pleased that the youngsters have been given this equipment to enjoy.
