The Friends of Brockenhurst was established in 1957 and strives to achieve its main goal of trying to protect, improve and develop the character and amenities of Brockenhurst and surrounding areas for the benefit of residents and the wider community.
A NOTE FROM OUR CHAIR...
As Chair of Friends of Brockenhurst, I am keen that the Society continues to be involved and a major contributor to the life of our village. It is important to retain the historical aspect of the village, but we must advance with the times for the benefit of Brockenhurst residents of all ages.
The whole Committee are dedicated to support the village and welcome any comments and ideas from residents.

OUR MISSION
Formed in 1957 the Society exists to protect, improve and develop the character and amenities of Brockenhurst and the surrounding forest area for the benefit of the residents of the village and the wider community.
It concentrates especially, but not exclusively, on matters related to planning, environment and the welfare of the community.
It will seek to influence local and other governmental bodies to advance its objectives.
In particular the Society will carry out regular and detailed reviews of all regional, structure and local plans, together with local planning applications. Representations will be made as appropriate.
