Public Consultation on Parking Charges in Keyhaven

Following our article in January 2024 about parking in Saltgrass Lane and New Lane, Keyhaven, the Hampshire County Council Public Consultation is now underway and will run until 15th March 2024.

To read previous article, please click here.

The plan is to introduce:
  • Daily on street pay & display parking spaces from 10am to 6pm.
  • No waiting at any time.
  • Motor Caravans will not be allowed to park from 8pm to 8am.
  • Parking Charges would be £1 per hour and £8 for all day.

Initially, it was thought that only the issue of overnight parking was to be addressed, but daily parking charges are in the notice, which means that there would no longer be any free parking close to the beach for locals or visitors in Milford on Sea or Keyhaven.

As always seems to be the case, the people and families that can least afford to pay the charges will be hardest hit. A free two hour period would be a fairer action in our opinion.

Any comments or objections must be made in writing quoting reference: A2039/MJB by Friday 15th March 2024 to:

Harden's recognise Verveine for Exceptional Quality Food

Verveine have recently, and once again, been awarded the Five Star Certificate of Achievement for their Exceptional Quality Food, and a Top 100 Restaurant rating, by Hardens Guide.

Verveine scored 5 out 5 for Food, which is the only 5 out of 5 score in the whole of Hampshire, and puts Verveine in the Top 2% of restaurants for Exceptional Quality Food in the UK. - Impressive indeed.

The summary from the Harden's Guide reads as follows:

"Constantly innovative, super-fresh fish dishes" from chef-patron David Wykes have established this "small, warm space" with an in-house fishmonger as a true "destination restaurant", invariably hailed as a "great discovery" by first time visitors. The "outstanding tasting menus" are presented in an unusual format, with guests nominating the number of courses but not their content. They arrive with "imaginative accompaniments" and "charming, attentive service".
