NOISE or other NUISANCE
Following a number of complaints over this and previous weekends it is timely for us to remind you of the process to be followed in the event of noise or other nuisance.
In the first instance we suggest contacting the perpetrator to try to decrease the nuisance.
If this is not successful a report should be made to the POLICE by telephoning 101, and then a further report made (during office hours) to NFDC Environmental Health (Environmental Protection Section) on 023 8028 5411.
Further details may be found at http://www.newforest.gov.uk/article/4228/Noise
OBSTRUCTION of a HIGHWAY
Should you come across an obstruction of a Highway (say fallen tree, abandoned vehicle, fly-tipping etc) here are the ways for you to report it effectively:-
- If it is immediately critically dangerous telephone the POLICE on 999,
- If it is potentially seriously hazardous report it to the POLICE on 101,
- Otherwise, report it via the Hampshire Highways website, or (possibly more effectively)
- Report it via the “NEW FOREST IN TOUCH App” which you may install on your smartphone &/or tablet.

ANNUAL CANVASS 2016
About now every household in NFDC will receive a Household Enquiry Form. If there are no changes to made on the form the householder can confirm this by going on-line, texting, telephoning or by signing and posting back their form. If there are changes to be made they may make these changes on-line or return the form back to NFDC, instructions are printed on the forms. The form is an “enquiry” form to gather information of those registered at the property, it is not a registration form therefore does not add names to the register. Once NFDC is informed of changes to the household and where there are additions, they will contact any new persons and invite them to register and supply their national insurance number and date of birth. The easiest and quickest way is to go on-line at www.newforest.gov.uk/register-to-vote
or pass details over the phone or supply them with a paper copy to complete.
Visit the NFDC website for further information http://www.newforest.gov.uk/annualcanvass.

THE NFNPA PROJECT “OUR PAST, OUR FUTURE”
All Saint’s Churchyard Memorials
This particular project is recording and mapping the memorials in All Saint’s, Minstead. We are going to need your help with collating information.
James Brown, the NPA archaeologist who is running the “Our Past, Our Future” project, has fixed a date of 24th September to have a day at All Saint’s to encourage people to have a look at the available data and see if they would like to become involved in helping All Saint’s gather the information needed.
James will be bringing along some very interesting displays and lots of information about how to help collate information for the Minstead churchyard memorials. There will also be NPA volunteers who will help to show us how to record memorials types, sizes, designs and condition both online or on paper. A photographer will be showing us how to take images of the memorials using a light source to enhance any written/drawn details on the stones.
Please do look out for further details about the day at Minstead Church on 24th September.
