Havant Borough Council is inviting residents to the Waterlooville Town Centre Gallery & Exhibition, where the draft content for the Waterlooville Masterplan will be showcased.

The article was criticised by Conservative councillor Gwen Robinson, who believes the regeneration programme points towards a bright future. This week’s event will be the first glimpse into what that future could be.
