New Forest National Park meetings

Our 22 members meet regularly to make decision on matters relating to the functions of the National Park Authority. These meetings usually take place at Lymington Town Hall.

The full Authority also has several sub committees which consider certain aspects of Authority business. There are also two partner forums we facilitate.
