The Wellington - Revived?

A while ago I posted that The Wellington pub was to be demolished.

Well it looks like I was wrong, although at the time of the post I think the info was correct.
The pub is being refurbished and being made into flats. I think previous news across the inter-web suggested that it would be demolished to make way for flats.

Here is a photo showing the current work:







Photo when it was boarded up.
You can see that in the more recent photo the roof has had a lot of work done to it.

Electric Vehicle charging comes to the Borough

It's taken a long time, but soon Havant Borough Council owned car parks will have 48kW EV rapid chargers installed. The chargers will be a part of the Genie Point network:

I believe these will charge a car to about 80% in 30 minutes, which is probably reasonable for a car park scenario. Ah it makes a change to post some local news and something positive!

Jeremy Hunt today threatens businesses

It's always interesting how often the Tories fail completely to listen to business and even accuse companies of undermining Tory policy. So much for a party that allegedly supports business (take a look at Waterlooville to see what a lie that is).

The attack on democracy continues with Jeremy Hunt today accusing the likes of Airbus and BMW of threatening Theresa May and the future of the failing Tory government. Airbus and BMW have a right to say what is appropriate for their own business.

These companies have done the correct thing and they will not be the only businesses that are threatened by Brexit.

Why would we want to support the Tories??
His POV is not typical and is tainted by a desire to protect his own political position.
