Ashlett Creek, near Fawley. CAMPAIGNERS are fighting plans to build a £600m water desalination plant in the edge of Southampton Water. Southern Water is drawing up proposals to build the plant on land south of its wastewater treatment works at Ashlett Creek, near Fawley. The scheme also involves the construction of a 25km pipeline from Ashlett to Testwood in Totton. Southern Water says the scheme aims to keep customers taps running in the event of a severe drought. But locals say they are concerned about the potential impact of the project. An online petition launched by Christine English has already gathered more than 200 signatures.

Highways England is looking for apprentices to join the Lower Thames Crossing project.
Six project management apprentices are being hired to help with the road investment scheme, which, when complete, will see the construction of two 2.6-mile long road tunnels – the longest in Britain.
The aim is to create a three-lane dual carriageway to connect the M25 near North Ockendon to the M2 near Rochester, including a 2.4 mile tunnel between Gravesend and Tilbury.
