• PH has been in contact with Alison Tingley of the East Hampshire AONB to discuss their experience of undergrounding unsightly electricity cables. They have suggested six projects of which only one has been successfully implemented to date. This emphasises the need for project targets within the Petersfield Parish to be identified and put forward.
