THE organisation that runs the New Forest National Park is preparing to move to a new headquarters.

The National Park Authority (NPA) is just weeks away from leaving South Efford House in Milford Road, Everton, and transferring to Lymington Town Hall, which it will share with the district council.

Chief executive Alison Barnes said that the organisation was looking forward to the move, which she described as a fresh start.

The NPA, which has only temporary planning permission to use South Efford House, is due to move to Lymington in early November.
