CCTV at Chilworth Hall
Reply
Chilworth Hall remains closed, but its car park is still available for those who visit the Village Green (which belongs to the Parish Council, and not the Hall). A matter of days before the lockdown began, CCTV was installed at the Hall. There is now a camera monitoring the whole of the car park with some visibility onto the Green. Residents involved in any unfortunate incidents in the car park (e.g. theft of or from vehicles, confrontations, dog-fights etc) should promptly contact the Hall’s management to see if they can secure evidence. A note of the precise time of the incident would be helpful.
Online help for crime victims
The Victim Care Service, funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner and provided by Victim Support, has launched a new website to ensure anyone affected by crime in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton can access support and advice.
The website offers tips on how to protect yourself from different types of crime and advice on what to do if you experience them. It also includes a comprehensive database of organisations that can be searched by individuals and professionals looking to meet a specific support need. Continue reading

Closure of Chilworth Hall
Owing to the Corona virus pandemic, Chilworth Hall is now closed until further notice. The Hall’s management committee thanks all its hirers for their past business and sincerely hopes that they, and those dear to them, come through this crisis unscathed. One day the Hall will open again, and you’ll hear it here first. Any further announcements will be made on this page. The e-mail address admin@chilworthhall.org.uk will continue to be monitored.
