Potential new abbatoir in Hampshire

Members of the New Forest Commoners’ Defence Association are being urged to write to Winchester City Council in support of a new abattoir in Hampshire.

NCFDA chair Andrew Parry-Norton says: ‘Talks are taking place with Winchester City Council regarding a new abattoir for Hampshire.

‘There is a huge pot of money available and rural diversification has four projects, and number one is the abattoir.

‘We need 50 letters of support of this project and what it means to rural businesses in the New Forest.

‘If you are able to help please email them to: sdixon@winchester.gov.uk with the heading ‘Abattoir support letter.’

‘Thank you.’
