Gaston Lane closure approaching a year - Updated 7th January 2025
 Later this month we reach the 1st Anniversary of the Gaston Lane Closure. We won't be celebrating this event as the road was supposed to be reopened at the end of Summer 2024 but plans seem to be at a Halt at the moment with no activity at the site and no news of a brand new bridge which was an apparently deemed an essential requirement to reopen the road.
In a response to an enquiry from Farringdon Parish Council Chair, Denise Maughan in May 2024, Hampshires Head of Universal Services, Mr Nick Adams King, indicated that . .
" . .The road will remain closed until the culvert is fully replaced. Unfortunately, the estimated completion date will not be known until the box unit / culvert manufacturer provides estimated delivery dates.
Current thinking is that the road will re-open towards the end of summer” (2024) . . ." !! . . . more

However, locals were surprised to find someone standing on the roof of a van, which was almost completely submerged in the centre of the bridge . . more
Outline permission for NEW Farringdon Village Hall - Updated 29th October 2024
The South Downs Planning Committee have, at long last, granted outline permission for a New Village Hall on the site to the North of the Royal Oak alongside the A32.
There will still have to be approval of the drainage system, building etc and other construction details but at least the planning can now proceed on to the construction phase and, of course, raising finance to construct and create a new Village Hall for Farringdon.
So don't expect to see the New Hall for some while!
still no village hall decision from Southdowns planning– Updated 17th October 2024
