Meridian Hampshire County Council

Hampshire County Council has refused proposals by Cemex, to extract 1.7 million tonnes of sand and gravel from Hamble Airfield.

The county council has decided to remove £587,000 of council funding to its Passenger Transport provision and projects like 'Dial-A-Ride'.

Hampshire County Council faces an annual budget shortfall, which is now projected to have increased to at least £175 million.
