Chandler’s Ford Community Produce and Craft Market: Saturday 03 December 2022

The market was started by myself and my wife in October 2015. The reason for opening a market in Chandler’s Ford was firstly to provide a outlet for local crafters and producers to sell their wares. Secondly we were appalled by the cost of other markets stall fees.

Fryern Hill Post Office Re-opens (temporarily) Monday Afternoon (18th November 2019)

November 15, 2019 By SO53 News 3 Comments

This morning, Aaron Joseph, the Fryern Hill gift and stationery shop manager, told Chandler’s Ford Today that the post office will re-open on Monday the 18th of November 2019, from around 2pm.

He said The Post Office team would re-start the system from before noon, and it might take around 2 hours to set everything up. So it’s likely that the post office would re-open from around 2pm.

It’s great news for the local people – though it’s unsure how long the post office will continue to run. It’s a relief for local residents and businesses during this busy Christmas time.

The Chandler's Ford Fryern Hill post office will re-open from around 2pm on Monday 18th November 2019.

Steve Brine MP on the Fryern Hill Post Office: “unlikely to be resolved this side of Christmas”

October 26, 2019 By SO53 News 7 Comments

Following the sudden closure of the Fryern Hill Post Office, Winchester and Chandler’s Ford MP Steve Brine has given an update via his Facebook post.

“Thank you to constituents who have contacted me this week after the sudden closure of the PO at Fryern Hill in Chandler’s Ford. Had a confidential briefing from the Post Office this morning to understand what’s gone on here. Suffice to say, while I understand the temptation to grandstand and stir this up, it’s very complex and is extremely unlikely to be resolved this side of Christmas.
