TO commemorate the Army's departure from Whitehill and Bordon, having served in the town for more than 100 years, the corps of Royal Electrical and Mechani-cal Engineers (REME) is to be given the freedom of the town.

Whitehill Town Council agreed unanimously that freedom of the town should be bestowed on REME on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at a farewell event to mark the military's departure.

Town district and county councillor Adam Carew said: "Having put the motion to council, with the support of Mark Davison, I'm obviously delighted this is going through."
