The Town Council supported local young people over the summer by running a Skate Jam and partnering with Ethical Activities Community Interest Company (CIC) to offer the Carvers Kayak Club. These programs provided safe, educational, and enjoyable opportunities for youth aged 9 to 15, encouraging skill development and community engagement.

The planning application for development of land off Moortown Lane has suffered another delay, and the developers must now engage with the Town Council to address our concerns.
The closing date for receipt of applications for the September round of grant aid is 4 September.
We are proud to announce that the Town Council has been accredited as a Living Wage Employer, reflecting our commitment to fair pay and ensuring the economic wellbeing of our employees.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new digital map of Ringwood Cemetery, now available on our website. This innovative tool allows residents and visitors to search for burial records and locate graves with ease.
A planning application for a development of over 400 houses on land off Moortown Lane was due to be considered by New Forest District Council’s Planning Committee on 10 July but was removed from the agenda at the 11th hour. One of the reasons given was the recent adoption of the Ringwood Neighbourhood Plan by the authority, which must be taken into consideration when determining planning applications as it is now part of the Development Plan.
The summer programme at Carvers Clubhouse offers a wide range of activities designed to keep local families, children and young people engaged and entertained throughout the school holiday.
We are delighted to announce that residents voted overwhelmingly in favour of the Ringwood Neighbourhood Plan at the Referendum held on 4 July 2024. The resounding “yes” vote means the Plan will now be adopted and used by New Forest District Council and New Forest National Park Authority when determining planning applications.
Don’t miss out on this exciting community event to kick off the school summer holidays. The event, funded by New Forest District Council and the Levelling Up Fund, promises a day packed with fun and entertainment for all ages.
