Emily and James Hartley-Binns, from Dibden Purlieu, could not believe that the option opposed by all the local councils in the area had actually been chosen. As it turns out, thousands of others share their view. During the public consultation, 97% of New Forest respondents opposed any option that split the Forest, yet the proposal put forward by Southampton City Council was the one chosen by the Secretary of State. Campaigners say placing the Waterside inside an authority where Southampton and Eastleigh make up 85% of the population risks longterm urban expansion, pressure on backup grazing land, and ecological damage to the wider Forest. What started as a small online petition has now grown into a huge movement with a Facebook group and a website. James and Emily have starred in a number of their own videos online and the campaign has featured on the BBC, ITV and in e Guardian as well as local papers. New Forest District Council has also rmly endorsed the New Forest Together campaign. At a recent meeting of the full council, every single member of NFDC voted, to the cheers of hundreds of supporters, to support it. e couple are urging people to display car stickers and posters as well as signing and sharing the petition to get the total to more than 25,000. ey and their supporters will be out in force at local events over the next few weeks. “New Forest Together isn’t about politics,” said James. “It’s about people and the place we live in and love. We are all part of the New Forest. The roots of our communities go back centuries. It simply isn’t right to split the New Forest District and separate the Forest’s coastal communities from the Forest itself.” Emily commented: “We’ve been completely amazed by the way people have reacted. This plan to split us up has actually brought the community closer together.” James, Emily and the rest of the campaigners are hoping that such a big show of support for New Forest Together may help change the government’s mind, starting rst through the prospect of a judicial review.

SHED HAPPENS Advice from The Hound Lounge Many owners overlook the importance of professional grooming for smoothcoated breeds, but the truth is that short-haired dogs bene t immensely from regular, expert care. At e Hound Lounge in Holbury, we are currently highlighting our shorthair grooming services to ensure every dog stays in peak condition throughout the season. As temperatures rise a professional deshedding treatment becomes essential for your dog’s comfort. By expertly removing the dead undercoat, we help your pet regulate their temperature e ciently and prevent the “insulation effect” that causes overheating. is process doesn’t just bene t your dog, it also keeps your home much fresher by signi cantly reducing the volume of hair, dander, and allergens that typically end up on your furniture. Most importantly, every visit serves as a vital health screening. Because our groomers are hands-on from nose to tail, we can identify hidden lumps, bumps, skin irritations, or parasites that are o en missed at home. Give your short-haired companion the specialised attention they deserve and keep your home hair-free by booking an appointment in our diary at e Hound Lounge today.
