MAJOR developments in the heart of Winchester and the bins will be among the main issues at the forthcoming city council elections on Thursday May 6.
Coronavirus has halted much progress on the Central Winchester Regeneration, better known as Silver Hill and the £150m redevelopment of Station Approach.
Progress on both has been glacial over several years with the Tories blaming the Lib Dems.
The Tories are working hard to exploit unhappiness over new charges for green recycling bins. The Lib Dems point out that they are almost the last authority in Hampshire to introduce the charge and most of the other councils to have done so have been Conservative.
