The Aims of the Society in Brief
A Civic Society for all wishing to protect the character of our historic town
To ensure new development is in keeping
To encourage the maintenance and improvement of civic amenities
To provide a forum where residents can express views on such subjects publicly
Sirs, I have just recently learnt of proposals by Hampshire District Council to put parking meters on Lymington High Street. The though horrifies me as I have seen the results of such actions in other towns and villages in other parts of the country. Since moving back to Hampshire to live in Lymington 4 years ago I have seen more shop closers than openings and fear for the survival of the remaining shops.
Can you let me know if the Lymington Society has a view on these proposals which I am sure does not stop at just parking meters in the High St., and whether there are any plans in place to garner public opinion before it is too late.
