help, however small, please contact a committee member or contact the Parish
Council office 622829.

Torch Relay passes through Brockenhurst. The Parish Council is also working on
this event and more detail will be available in due course.
Website Visits
This website is has been getting between 3500 and 8000 visits per
month over the last 4 years. Thank you for your support. We hope you are
finding it an invaluable source of information. It is now undergoing a major
update. Please bear with us while this work is conducted.
Rainwater and all those winter things!
Winter
is here so our usual winter warning about keeping ditches and other
watercourses clear. This simple task will avoid any local ground flooding
issues if we have heavy rain. Again advice on how this affects you can be found
in the Village Directory and on this website.
Sadly we have to report a building was flooded recently possibly due to an
adjacent private watercourse being obstructed. Please be a good neighbour and
check any watercourse for which you are responsible.
Drivers
please remember that verges are soft and easily damaged by over running. In
many cases they are also valuable grazing for the Forest animals.
Visitors and Newcomers Corner.
Whether visitor or resident you are probably here because you
admire the Forest and its scenery. Help us protect it for future generations by
learning a little of its' unique past and how you can help protect its' future.
