April 17th - the Management Committee welcomed members of the local community to the Centre for light refreshments and a look round the Centre. Much work has been carried out since the launch of the Hilldene Renovation Project in May 2009 and the committee wanted to share with the community the completed work as well as the targets for the coming year. Also present were local Paris, Borough and County Councillors as well as Jon Riddell the HEWEB Co-Ordinator and users of the Centre.

We are now waiting on the new tower to be put into position, as you can see a replacement was long overdue. The weather vane is also being refurbished to go back into position.

Grant from Eastleigh Borough Council (EBC)
The Centre was awarded a grant of £20,000 by Eastleigh Borough Council HEWEB (Hedge End, West End and Botley) committee. Using the grant new boliers have been installed to make the heating more efficient and economical to run. An order has also been placed via EBC to replace the bell tower which is in desperate need of repair.
