MIXED feelings have greeted the decision by Petersfield Town Council to embrace the formation of a new Sheet Parish Council.

The town council agreed that it should "accept the formation of a Sheet Parish Council if it was the will of residents, providing that the cost implication to Petersfield were minimal".

A recommendation will now be made before East Hampshire District Council makes the final decision on the formation of a new council when it meets on December 7.
