Brian Laming, co-chair of the Badger Farm Community Centre, with Winchester MP Steve Brine WHAT a year. Surely 2021 has to be better than this? For more than a decade I have represented us in Parliament and I don’t think I’ve ever worked harder or been more challenged by the terrain before us. It is true, in any walk of life, that experience guides the hand of success but I certainly feel blessed to have had so much I can fall back on this year. The early part of 2021 will (hopefully) be recovery from the pandemic; both in how we roll out the vaccine across Hampshire and seek to get economic growth going again.
