ROAD EDGES & POTHOLES
If your car has been unavoidably damaged from hitting a pothole or being forced over a road edge in Minstead and/or the New Forest we’d like to know about it! The information will only be used anonymously but could help with our ongoing discussions with the authorities about the deteriorating state of our roads. Approx date, location and brief description of damage will suffice.

Additionally you can lay hedges up until the end of April and hedges overhanging roads/footpaths can be trimmed all year round.
