A quick message from Dr Charlotte Hutchings, a local Hampshire GP, to anyone currently expecting a baby:

“I would like to encourage all eligible pregnant women to take up the offer of the flu vaccination. It is really important as having the vaccinations helps to protect you and your baby from becoming seriously unwell.

“It's safe to have the flu vaccination during any stage of pregnancy, from the first few weeks up to your expected due date. It's also safe for people who are breastfeeding to have the vaccines.

“I strongly recommended that you get vaccinated against flu, RSV and whooping cough ahead of winter to protect you and your baby.”

For those who are eligible for the winter flu vaccine, there are a number of ways to get your vaccination. Many people will be invited directly via their GP practice. However, you don’t need to wait to be invited to book your appointment as anyone who is eligible can book directly via the National Booking System, by calling 119, or via the NHS App.

If you’re not sure if you or your child has a condition that means you’re eligible for the vaccination, or you need help with booking an appointment, then the NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight COVID-19 Vaccination Helpline team will be able to help by calling 0300 561 0018.

Update – Overnight works extended for temporary roundabout installation at the A3051/A334 Junction in Botley

During advance excavation works at the A3051/A334 junction in Botley, previously unmapped underground utility pipework was identified. To ensure the effective installation of the temporary mini-roundabout, adjustments to the highway drainage design are now required.

As a result, the roundabout installation is now scheduled for the week commencing 22 September, rather than the originally planned week commencing 8 September.

Overnight work will still begin on Monday 8 September as planned to prepare the area for the new layout.

Updated schedule of works:-

📅 Monday 8 September – Friday 12 September: Overnight works under three-way temporary traffic lights operating between 8pm and 6am.

📅 Monday 15 September – Friday 19 September: Overnight works under three-way temporary traffic lights operating between 8pm and 6am.

📅 Week commencing 22 September: Overnight works to install the temporary mini-roundabout under three-way temporary traffic lights operating between 8pm and 6am.

We’ll confirm the date that the new temporary roundabout becomes operational in advance, via on-site signage and updates on the scheme’s webpage.

Thank you for your patience while we carry out these essential works to deliver the Botley Bypass.

The Government is due to test the national Emergency Alerts system this Sunday, 7 September at 3pm.

Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather.

Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

As the summer holidays end, have you noticed a change in your
child? Have they pulled away from family? Spent more time out or
glued to their phone? Do you know who they’ve been with, or what
they’ve been doing?

A shift in mood or friendship groups could be just growing up, or it
could be something more.

The signs can be subtle, but the risks are serious.
