The Hartley Wintney Commons Consultation

Hart District Council has appointed consultants Footprint Ecology to produce a management plan for the Hartley Wintney Commons as seen in this map.
Part of this process is running a public consultation to gather the important views of the local community.
The Council want the people who use and enjoy the Commons to have their say on the future management of this valuable green space.
Footprint Ecology will be running a ‘drop in day’ at Victoria Hall in Hartley Wintney on Saturday the 9^th of January between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Please come along to give your views and opinions. Alternatively you can write directly to Dr. Rob McGibbon at Footprint Ecology, Forest Office, Cold Harbour, Wareham, BH20 7PA, or email rob.mcgibbon@footprintecology.co.uk
