LIPHOOK risks losing its pot of developer's contributions amounting to £104,500 unless it embarks on a number of projects.

That was the harsh message at the latest East Hampshire District Council Community Forum.

County and district councillor Ferris Cowper said: "This is a topic I have been working on as an EHDC councillor who chairs the community forum – north east.

"The forum has had difficulty approving the release of some or all of the accumulated developer's contributions of £104,500 for recreation facilities at Bohunt Manor Estate, because of procedural irregularities dating back to July 2012, none of which are the fault of the parish council."
