What is happening to Liphook ? Proberley the same people that ripped our Christmas lights from our front garden and dumped them in the road for cars to drive over !!! ( In the last 2 days ) How long before the police act to stop this Maybe CCTV camera are now needed to keep an eye on things How can we stop this destruction of our village ? There are some good peole trying to make this village a great place to live yet these groups are underming everything they are trying to do Before long the people will say why bother as all the good we do is ruined y mindless yobs Do we want a nice village to live in or a wasteland

Re: haslemere herald - Freddie Dawkins (2nd Jan 2006 - 19:03:07) GR - Just a bit of info. Hampshire's finest have a DNA sample on at least one of the little gang of yobs who did a bit of damage just before Christmas. Hopefully, the spilt blood will lead to an apprehension. On the approach and style of the Herald story - I am a little bit surprised Jenny Mouland decided to make it a front page lead story. It was hardly a savage gang rampaging through town. Presume it was a quiet week down at the editorial offices in Petersfield and poor Jenny had to fill some space. Trouble is, blowing up something like this does give the wrong impression of Liphook - especially to those who don't go out after dark or are new to the village. What struck me over the past few days was just how quiet the village has been - even for a New Year. Had a lovely stroll and around the Village Green the other night - not a soul venturing out. Saw, ooh, at least four cars in 30 minutes! Have you noticed how quickly the fir trees are growing opposite the Sainsbury's roundabout - and the copper beech hedging near the Millennium Centre has really come on. All that development landscaping is paying off. Happy New Year to all here. Freddie

Re: haslemere herald - liz (3rd Jan 2006 - 10:22:14) Perhaps the Haslemere/Liphook Herald is not keeping its head firmly buried in the sand as others seem to want to do. -There is an escalating problem of yobbery and vandalism in the village. I'm sure it is a small minority that are responsible but to give the impression that Liphook is a quiet little country village where the extreme of loutish behaviour is the odd swear word is ostrich behaviour in the extreme. I have seen police cars patroling the village - but only in the early evening which seems a bit pointless.

Re: haslemere herald - LippyChick (3rd Jan 2006 - 13:15:48) I wish that I could share Freddies optimism about the behaviour standards in the village over the new year period. For anyone using the Rec or the car park for Radford Park in Malthouse Meadows on New Years Day it would have been a slightly different story. Thank you to the pathetic mindless morons who saw fit to break into Liphook Football Clubs clubhouse on New Years Eve taking anything alcoholic and smashing glass all over the grass and paths of the rec, took the sweets that were there and (rather than eat them, perish the thought) throw them all over the park and left the clubhouse in such a state that it will take several hundred pounds to repair. This act can be described as nothing but mindless, nay dangerous given the children and dogs that could have hurt themselves. Several people gave up most of the bank holiday weekend to try and right the damage. What did they gain from it? oh a few alcopops. Big deal. Luckily there seems to have been plenty of evidence left at the scene of the crime, so hopefully Hampshires finest will get a result pretty soon. Wonder what they say when they're asked how they saw in the new year Lips x
