Everett’s Coppice is a local site and SSSI, primarily used by Fareham East and Fareham West Scouts for overnight and weekend activities. We have received this update from the committee:
The Everett’s Coppice committee have decided to put a combination lock on the pedestrian gate at Everett’s to deter non-Scouting people from using the coppice. Initially it will be for a six month period to see if it works successfully and will then be reviewed.
The combination will be given to you when you book through Joy French. Set the combination and then push the black button on the bottom of the lock to release it. Don’t forget to replace when leaving the coppice.

Details for booking and using the site are available in the Secure Area of this website. You will have to be registered and approved (a manual process) before you can get to the secure area.
