Coastal Footpath
Some time ago the Parish Council
discussed the possibility of undertaking
some much needed work to the footpath
that leads past scholars retreat field. This
path often became unpassable during the
winter months and walkers, at times, used
the adjacent field to walk upon which
caused some damage to both the fencing
and the field. However, this path
does not belong to the Parish Council and
some lengthy discussions were needed
with the Land owner, Barker Mills Estate.
Permission was also required from
Natural England before any work could
commence.
Barker Mills Estate were very supportive
and thankfully Natural England responded
fairly quickly and in favour.

Parish Councillor Vacancy
A vacancy has arisen for the position of
Parish Councillor.
If you feel you have something to
contribute to the village of Milford-on-
Sea which will only take a few hours of
your time each week we would be glad to

The Parish Council are in the position of
co-opting (i.e. an election for the post has
not been requested).
If you are interested, please contact the
Parish Office for further details. The

July.
Two members of the MCV along with the
Parish Groundsman and Clerk started to
transport 7 tonnes of aggregate to the
site on 15th June, filling in the deep ruts
that had occurred over many years. A
further 5 tonnes of material was also
taken to the site on 22nd June and the
job was finally completed. This section of
path is now safe to walk during the
summer and should be free from large
puddles during the winter.
