Hilary Ruth Percival

Hilary has a long association with Grange, regularly gets involved in conservation projects and runs a children’s environmental group from Grange Farm 1990. She continues to work in Early Years education and organises collections for the local foodbank. Conservative cuts mean that Gosport Council gets 40% less funding than it did in 2010. The evidence is everywhere: from schools to street lights, from play parks to policing, libraries closed, fewer flower beds, streets cleaned less often. Like most residents, she is especially concerned about the recent rise in crimes, such as drug-dealing and anti-social behaviour.
