Lyndhurst Community Centre What's On Magazine August 2022

It is with great sadness that the Council
has learned of the death of Terence Mark
Abbott known as Mark.
Mark was first co-opted on to the Parish
Council in 1967 as a Councillor and served
for 49 years until he retired.
Mark held many positions on the Parish
Council including Vice Chairman, Chairman
and later Chairman of the Planning
Committee.
Mark had an extensive knowledge of
Lyndhurst and this proved invaluable as a
councillor.
He will be sady missed by all of those
that he worked with for the benefit of this
community.
At the Parish Council meeting held on 12
July Councillors supported the proposal
from County Councillor Heron to ask
Hampshire County Council to investigate
the posibility of making the junction of
Racecourse View with the A337 no entry.
Traffic taking a short cut from the A337
trying to bypass the congestion has been a
problem for many many years.
District Councillor Hilary Brand informed
the meeting that NFDC had approved the
Waste Strategy, and this will mean that
residential properties will be getting
wheelie bins from 2024. More information
on this scheme will be provided to residents
in the future.
