- More than 200 children have been helped after a toy fair at a local church.
- Heavy rain and gale force winds in Winchester – with the arrival of storm Gerrit.
- People are being urged to only travel by train if necessary this week – as landslip repairs continue on the line to London.
- New enforcement cameras are being set up at the railway station – to stop drivers using the bus gate at the bottom of Station Hill.
- As a nation, we love our shoes and an exhibition at the Arc features around 70 pairs of shoes from our past to the present. We talk to one of the conservators who set it up.
- A number of projects in Winchester are to get a share of nearly half a million pounds from the Police and Crime Commissioner.
- The vintage King Alfred buses will be out and about in Winchester on New Year’s day. For one bus enthusiast this is a special year. Mary Curry was Winchester’s first woman bus driver and celebrates 50 years since gaining her professional licence. She spoke to Winchester Now.
