RESIDENTS of the Berg Estate, off Midhurst Road, enjoyed a street party celebrating the activities and achievements of the Chiltley Farm Action Group (CFAG).

Member Alistair Halliday said: “The purpose of the street party was to have an opportunity to thank the many people who have helped support CFAG over the past 30 months.

“It was also to allow many people to get together, meet up and share experiences and views in a relaxing setting.

“The event provided an opportunity to increase awareness across Liphook of the neighbourhood plan which is just starting up.

“The plan is a great opportunity for the residents of Liphook to make their views known on the best locations of any future developments and which amenities are needed in the village.

“CFAG’s involvement in connection with the recent Poultry Farm Appeal has brought our community of southern Liphook closer together with a genuine sense of desire to seek the best strategic outcomes for Liphook’s future.

“People are more engaged on these issues now, and will wish to get more involved in the neighbourhood plan.

“There was a real sense of community spirit and neighbourly goodwill at the party. It was a lovely afternoon and we hope to do this again.”

lAn appeal for the poultry farm application in Chiltley Lane for 100 houses was dismissed in April by a Government Inspector, after CFAG fought the appeal under the rule six party agreement.
