Residents from across the borough are being invited to join Havant’s Citizens’ Panel and make a vital contribution to how the Council develops and runs its services.

The Citizen’s Panel has been running in the borough since 1999 and is one of the major ways Havant Borough Council learns the views of local people. Panel members have answered questions on the environment, crime and disorder, parks and open spaces, street cleansing and beach safety. New members are being recruited to ensure that the Panel is representative of the type of people living in the borough. Once recruited, members will be sent questionnaires at least three times a year on local issues, as well as being invited to take part in focus groups and special one-off consultations. Leader of the Council, Councillor David Gillett said “This is a great opportunity for residents to have their say from the comfort of their own home - all views expressed will be confidential and used to help make future decisions on council services”. If you wish to apply to become a member of the Citizens’ Panel you can complete the on-line questionnaire here>> For more information on the Citizens’ Panel use this link>>

A woman who helped organise the most successful food festival in the area has been honoured in The News Business Excellence Awards.The efforts of Lulu Bowerman in organising the Emsworth Food Festival and galvanising a group of volunteers to create an event that celebrates local produce have won her the title of Business Personality of the Year. She was cheered as she walked up to the stage to accept her award from Robin Dickens, of award sponsor Lambert Smith Hampton. A clearly stunned Mrs Bowerman said: ‘I didn’t think I would get this. ‘It’s great getting this award, but the festival wouldn’t have happened without my team of volunteers. ‘It’s for all the volunteers that I’m accepting this award - I’m accepting this on behalf of the committee.
‘We were up against a few obstacles this year but we came through it.’
These obstacles mean the festival will be smaller in future years. Ms Bowerman was one of many happy trophy winners whose successful companies and enterprises we  celebrated within the area’s business community.
The event, which was held at Portsmouth Guildhall, is the highlight of the year for the business community. It involved nearly 550 guests - made up of mayors, company leaders and representatives of leading business organisations who were there to network and more importantly to find out who had won awards in one of the eight categories. They heard from guest speaker and England Football legend Sir Geoff Hurst - still the only person to have scored a hat trick in a World Cup final - while BBC presenter Sally Taylor compered the evening. The event, which is sponsored by Business Link, is now into its sixth year.
Chairman of the board of Business Link in Hampshire and the  Isle of Wight, Phil Wilding, said: ‘I think these awards are very important - good people in business strive to be the best and I believe we should recognise that.’
