EAST Hampshire MP Damian Hinds has spoken of his optimistic view of the future, saying that Whitehill and Bordon is in safe hands. His comments praising the town's residents come after East Hampshire District Council's (EHDC) insistence last week that job targets in Whitehill and Bordon are deliverable. Concerns were raised by Whitehill Town Council, centred on EHDC's "one job per house" employment projection last week. However, the district council said that not only is the 5,500 total jobs target viable, significant work toward reaching it had already begun. For full story, see this week's Bordon Herald.
