The Town Mills riverside park opened to the public in mid-March, during the third Covid lockdown, for residents to make use of whilst exercising. But it will be officially opened on Wednesday, June 2, when it is filled with Alice in Wonderland themed attractions, with visitors invited to explore the enchanted garden full of colourful flowers and mushrooms, take part in a giant bug hunt and experience the weird and wonderful Playground of Illusions. The new riverside development was a joint project between Test Valley Borough Council, Hampshire County Council and Andover Vision.
ANDOVER’S Conservatives are celebrating after winning four seats at the borough council elections. The result of last Thursday’s ballot has reversed the 2019 swing which saw the Andover Alliance make large gains. This puts the party firmly back in the driving seat at Test Valley Borough Council, strengthening its overall majority with four new representatives. Jan Budzynski (Conservative, St Mary’s) and Jim Neal (Conservative, Millway) have been re-elected as borough councillors after losing their seats during the Alliance’s surge two years ago. The scandal-hit party, headed up by outgoing Andover mayor, Richard Rowles, split after it was hit by a number of resignations in its first year and incidents of political infighting.
