Meetings and committees
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.
Forums we facilitate
Public involvement
Meetings of the Authority and its committees are open to the press and public. You are welcome to attend in person, or you can watch those meetings that are live-streamed online and watch back those meetings that are saved on our YouTube channel.
Members of the public can ask to speak at meetings as long as notice of at least two full working days is given to members services on 01590 646647 or email memberservices@newforestnpa.gov.uk.
