To outline proposals to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Borough of Fareham.
Following changes to local government arrangements specified in the Local Government Act 1972, Fareham was established as a Borough on 01 April 1974. The inaugural annual meeting of Fareham Borough Council was held at 11am on Tuesday 09 April 1974. At that meeting the Charter of Incorporation of the Borough was presented to the Mayor by the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, at that time The Right Hon. The Earl of Malmesbury.
The Captain of HMS Collingwood presented the Mayor with the Civic Mace which was made by Royal Navy engineers based at Collingwood.
In 2024 it will be 50 years since the Borough of Fareham was established. This significant anniversary provides an opportunity to celebrate the occasion with a series of activities throughout the Borough.
