Connect2 Signing

Tuesday was the offical signing date for the new Connect2 cycle way which will connect up St Denys and Northam. The new £450,000 pedestrian and cycle route will run along the waterfront between Horseshoe Bridge and Northam Bridge. The project is a partnership between Southampton City Council, The Lottery and Sustrans (the cycle charity) and the money was awarded after Southampton won a national competition for lottery funding.

St Denys Community Day

I spent an enjoyable day today at the St Denys Community Centre Family Fun Day.

It was a packed day with cricket and football matches in the Multi User Games Area (MUGA), Wing Chun, Tai Chi and Belly Dancing, an Irish Dancing display and a great BBQ put on by the Junction Inn.

The day was supported by the City Council, The Army and the local police and PCSOs.

I went along with our newly elected Councillor Vincenzo Capozzoli who is doing a great job representing local residents. We listened to a number of ideas that residents have for the area and were struck the thriving community spirit in the area and how successful the community centre has become.
