Four New Forest towns named on Aldi’s development hit-list
ALDI FOR TOTTON?

BRIDGE TO REPLACE CROSSING I am grateful to Councillor Dave Hills for flagging this up via the "Waterside Community Railway" Facebook Page. A lot of people will be asking, why cannot Totton have a bridge? It shows that it can be done, if the political will is there. Depending on where the bridge is located,…

REDUCTION IN COUNCILLOR NUMBERS LEADS TO STRANGE BOUNDARIES The Electoral Commission has published a report detailing recommendations following the decision to reduce the number of Councillors from 60 to 48 on New Forest District Council.
