Update on Council Services

The New Forest District Council offices are closed as of yesterday evening, so are the public loos! 

Coronavirus: Council Services Updates 

We are continuing to operate essential services and are taking any necessary precautions to keep our customers and staff safe in line with the latest advice from government. 

Monday 23rd March 2020 20:30: The Government has announced from this evening we must stay at home, with a series of closures, and enforcement. We are reviewing the impact on services to our community and we'll be focusing all our efforts on the essential services. Please bear with us while we put our plans in place and check here regularly for information and updates. 

Following Government's stay at home announcement tonight we are stopping all but our critical services. 

- Our offices are now closed until further notice, except for emergency homelessness issues at Appletree Court. 

- Please follow the government instructions to stay at home 

- All public facilities including public toilets and playgrounds are now closed and there will be further announcements about other council services including waste, planning, and housing over the coming days. 

Please help us in this important work by not contacting us unless it is an urgent matter while all our staff focus on these priorities. Thank you for your support.
