A ‘Vote Hampshire Independents’ sign at the Water Garden in Winchester
A POLITICAL party poster has appeared at the Water Garden in Winchester.
The sign reads ‘Vote Hampshire Independents’ – the party that is lead by Alan Stone, who owns the garden near the cathedral.
Last year, he submitted plans to build a house on the land, which were met with more than 1,000 public objections.
The planning battle was recognised as one of the biggest that Winchester City Council has ever seen.
His plans were refused permission by council officers and Mr Stone is yet to appeal.
Duncan Philip Stone, of the Hampshire Independent Party, is running in the upcoming local elections.
