streets as a shortcut. After village constable Chris White had raised the biggest cheer of the evening by con- tradicting the county principal engineer’s statement that the police could never enforce a width restriction ban, the two officials returned to Winchester with voluble choruses of “we want action now” still ringing in their ears. * * * * * * HUNDREDS of New For- est residents who fear that 850 more houses are to be “dumped in the precious green fields” around Totton and Net - ley Marsh, creating another sprawling Hedge End, have showed a fervent united front against the county council planners. Under the headline “Devel- opment Bombshell”, a special edition of NFDC’s “District News” claimed that the coun - ty’s draft Structure Plan review earmarked North Totton as the site on which to build 850 new homes. But in a packed-out Totton Recreation Centre onThursday last week Alan Lloyd, chairman of the transportation commit- tee, denounced the paper as “a misleading and biased rag” and stated that it was not the county’s proposal to put the homes at Totton. The decision on where they must go lay with the district council, the crowd of about 400 heard. * * * * * * THREE high-spirited 20-year-old men were arrested after reports to the police that they had been seen driving at speed in a red car and wearing balaclavas and crash helmets. Some people thought there had been a hold-up. The trio were taken to Lyn- dhurst police station for ques- tioning, and later released with a warning about their behav- iour. Two were fromNewMilton and the third from Highcliffe.

school building at Brocken- hurst, provided the ministry agree to the provision of addi- tional prefabricated huts. In the committee minutes there were references to the need of improvement in school houses, and Mr J. N. McClean suggest that bathrooms and hot water systems should be provided wherever practical. 50 YEARS AGO ILL-FEELING between 10 head teachers of schools in Christchurch and Christchurch Road Safety Committee came to a head last week, bringing to light what the committee claims to be a long period of ba- sic non-co-operation between certain schools and themselves in connection with the Road Safety Training Scheme. Feelings erupted at a meet- ing of the safety committee last week when members discussed a petition signed by head teachers of 10 out of 12 schools in the town who are refusing to continue working with the committee because of publica- tion of a “league table” of pass - es and failures of pupils in their cycling proficiency tests. But now that the rift is in the open it is not clear what the remedy will be, for on Saturday Mr J. W. Hackett, headmaster of Somerford Junior School, refused to make any comment about future plans concerning road safety, and while Mr W. Cotton, headmaster of Twyn- ham Junior School, assured the A&T that they would do everything on the children’s behalf, he too said: “No com- ment.” * * * * * * TWO police units, including three tracker dogs, carried out an extensive but unsuccessful search of the Lymington area in the early hours of Friday in last week, after a police officer was struck and knocked un- conscious.

The officer, PC Peter Friday (28), who is married, with two children, and lives in Broom- field Lane, Lymington, was hoping to return to duty this weekend – he has been receiv- ing treatment for an injury to his neck during the week. PC Friday and PC Rich- ard Graham from Lymington were on patrol duty at about midnight on Thursday in last week, in Kings Saltern Road, Lymington. PC Friday caught a glimpse in the headlights of the car of a young man running from the road into Peter Web- ster’s boatyard. The car was stopped, and the officers ran into the yard with the intention of circling the buildings. PC Graham went off to the right and PC Friday to the left. PC Graham got to the rear of the property and waited for a few moments, expecting to be joined by PC Friday. But as PC Friday did not appear, PC Graham decided to make a full circuit of the yard, and found PC Friday lying unconscious on a gravel path which runs along the left side of the boat show- rooms and offices. * * * * * * “I WOULD like to see it re- duced to the ground,” said Col. A. Murray, Hampshire county councillor for Baddesley, speak- ing about Highcliffe Castle, and preservation proposals for it, at a County Planning Committee meeting on Friday in last week. He continued: “Personally, I don’t see that the stonework which has come from France is worth preserving. Lots of bits of the top are going to fall off soon.” He added that if the build- ing was as important as the experts claimed, then it should be bought and restored by the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works, and not at the ex- pense of Hampshire ratepay- ers.

A THRESHER shark weigh- ing 50-60lbs was caught at Key- haven on Wednesday night by Mr C. Adams and Mr E. Fowler, residents of Hounslow, London, who are staying with Mr Prude, of 2 Saltern View, Keyhaven. It took the combined efforts of both Mr Adams and Mr Flow- er two hours to land the shark which was caught with an or- dinary rod and 40lb line. Mr Adams assures us that shark steaks make very good eating. * * * * * * MESSRS Pinckney and Got, the architects who won the open competition for design- ing Sydney Cathedral in Aus- tralia, have prepared a scheme for Lymington Parish Church which, it is considered, will cov- er all reasonable alterations and improvements for some years to come. “The idea is that by having a comprehensive plan that can be carried through in stages, it will mean that any altera- tions and improvements will fit in with the whole,” the vicar (Rev. K. E. N. Lamplugh) told our representative on Tuesday when discussing some of the details. The principal proposal is the removal of the galleries on both sides of the church and their re- placement by stone arcadings. It is proposed to put back the chancel area. * * * * * * AT a meeting of Hampshire education committee at Win- chester last week, Mr C. M. King stated that as Brocken- hurst County Grammar School was overcrowded, application should be made to the Ministry of Education for the provision of three huts to provide addi- tional accommodation. It was also reported that senior children from Boldre, Brockenhurst, Lymington and Pennington should be accom- modated in the old secondary

The planning committee was considering the recent report on the castle (given in the A&T on 10th October), and were split on the question of wheth- er the building should be pre- served or not. The deputy clerk, Mr J. Martin, said it was not yet known how much it would cost to restore the building, but that he expected Christchurch Council would receive a pur- chase notice shortly. The committee decided to send a copy of the expert’s re- port to the ministry, with a res- ervation that they do not nec- essarily feel the 250-space car park recommended is suitable. 25 YEARS AGO TWO county council officers bravely ventured south to Bur- ley on Monday evening, and were somewhat taken aback when confronted by 150 irate residents crammed into the vil- lage hall for the Burley Village Protection Society’s annual meeting. This event normally attracts around 30 members but Mon- day’s unprecedented influx heralded a confrontation with the county over traffic dangers caused by heavy vehicles re- peatedly using Burley’s narrow
