What will you remember from 2025?

Our local news team looks back on the year in which buildings and businesses in Lavant Street were affected by fire, a row erupted over the closure of the Rowan Ward, volunteers knitted thousands of poppies and local primary school children published a recipe book.

Jo Gray, Julie Butler, Gareth Boyes, Phill Humphries, Mike Waddington from Shine Radio and the Petersfield Post's Paul Ferguson recall the stories they've reported.

The programme was recorded in the Tropper Inn at Froxfield and edited by Stephen Martin.
