TEST Valley Borough Council is helping to spread the message about community events across the region with the introduction of three community display sites.

The sites are located at Vigo Road Recreation Ground in Andover, Test Valley Borough Council’s offices at Beech Hurst in Weyhill Road, Andover, and in Southampton Road in Romsey.

All three sites can be booked free of charge for the display of banners promoting non-commercial, charitable, community events in the borough.

More information, including guidelines and an online booking form is available at www.

testvalley.gov.uk/charitybanners.

Councillor Ian Carr, leader of the council said: “The introduction of the banner sites is part of a package designed to help make it easier to spread the word about what’s going on in Test Valley.

The banner sites are a useful community resource and support the council’s aim to encourage all of our communities to reach their full potential.

“The visibility of the sites in Andover and Romsey means that they provide a useful source of free publicity for local charitable and community events, and I would encourage local groups to make full use of the facility.”
