We wanted to provide a brief note to add to our 21 December message, reporting the news that Councillor Oppenheimer had accepted a bid from a private purchaser for Haven House. He did make contact later that day to draw our attention to the press release issued by Hampshire County Council and, in particular, the phrase 'We hope that the aspirations of the local community will be met by the successful bidder'. The full press release is on the website www.thcommunityhub.org.uk Latest News. It would be marvellous if the purchaser wanted to re-open the cafe and we would be delighted to speak to them at any appropriate time. We do appreciate that the process of moving from an offer being accepted to contracts being exchanged can be a long and sometimes difficult one, so we shall remain patient and be glad to respond if we are approached. Indeed, should the accepted bid not come to fruition, ours will still be there on the table!
We shall keep in touch and will let you know if we have any further news.
