DRAPER TOOLS will be moving from Chandlers Ford to North Baddesley in five to ten years. Eventually the operation will run from a huge 350,000 sq ft warehouse facility, one of the largest in the country. The first phase of building work - a 120,000 sq ft warehouse has already been completed. The company has also been given the right to operate around the clock which will undoubtedly only add to more road congestion and noise pollution.

NORTH BADDESLEY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
North Baddesley borough councillor Steve Cosier has asked the County Council to consult North Baddesley residents before implementing improvements to the transport network in the village.
Money from the Borden Chemicals development has been earmarked by county officials to encourage alternative modes of transport in and around North Baddesley.
Under the agreement the County Council wants to have a controlled crossing at Rownhams Road in the vicinity of Fleming Avenue, an off-road shared pedestrians/cyclists facility along Rownhams Road and Rownhams Lane, as well as improved access to school at Fleming Avenue and traffic calming along Rownhams Road, Nutburn Road and Hoe Lane.
Ward member Mr. Cosier said ‘Though I would welcome any help in reducing the amount of cars that go through North Baddesley and support greener modes of transport, I strongly believe that the people living in Baddesley should be part of any consultation process.’
The Parish Council have been asked to comment on these proposals and will be meeting soon to submit their response.
If you want to make your feelings known please contact Steve on stevecsr17@aol.com

The New Sports Pavilion which is also the new home for the Parish Council’s monthly meetings also played host on Tuesday 12th May to this years Parishioner of the Year Award.
However, this year a little peice of history was created as the trophy award was made to not one parishioner but two and was presented to Una Lonergan and Beryl Green by Parish Council Chairman, David Knight.
The award was received in recognition of Una and Beryl’s joint work in archiving the villages history which they started in 1992 and also the founding of the North Baddesley Historical Society in 2006.
