DIY Conservation Day Brookvale Village Hall and out and about in Brookvale Saturday 9^th August 2009 This event aimed to help people in our area improve and preserve their homes. It took the form of an all day workshop and was well attended. This event was sponsored by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and presented by the Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust. We were given lots of information on suitable bricks and mortar for repair of traditional houses, with full demonstrations of how to repair timber window frames at a fraction of the window cost. Jon Willet from the Council was on hand to explain the background to our conservation area and answer planning questions. In the afternoon the whole group were invited to visit 5 local homes, to look at practical solutions.
