The Issue

New Forest District Council is effectively removing New Forest residents' democratic right to vote! People like the Suffragettes and Chartists fought and even died over centuries to win this right. New Forest District Council needs to listen to residents, instead of having changes imposed on residents that do not want them to be changed. Residents should not be ignored, and councillors must listen instead of thinking that they know better!
