It's been a busy two weeks in Aldershot and Farnborough
Here at the InYourArea Community News Team we love local and look to bring you as many news stories each week as we can.

A well known member of the local music scene has released a new album celebrating the area’s performers, 30 years after releasing his first compiled album.
Released at the start of this month, Farnborough Groove Vol. 12 features music from a number of acts from across the area.
The mastermind behind the album is Pete Cole, 52.
Born in Farnborough, Mr Cole has compiled albums featuring music of local bands since 1991.
He hopes that featuring a number of these artists will give them some much needed exposure after what has been a tough 13 months.
