The new forest has some of the lowest available housing of any district council. Last year for example, the entire housing allocation for the new forest available to council tenants in their search for new forest accommodation was less than 70 properties in total.
Why? Primarily this is because the new forest district council area is mainly covered by protected forest and greenbelt land. This leaves only very small areas of land available to build upon and the demand for this land is unrivalled even by major cities, which at least, can build upwards in their quest for housing.
To further exacerbate the housing shortage, the new forest is a very popular tourist destination that fuels private investors into buying the available housing for the purpose of short term letting on a buy-to-let basis. This is especially true during the summer months and especially true for the typical new forest cottages which are highly sought after by both investors and holiday makers alike and these cottages represent a huge proportion of the overall availability of new forest accommodation.
Of course nobody would suggest that this practice should stop or be prevented in any way. Tourism is by far the most important resource that the new forest has and supports many small businesses and families alike, hence the dilemma! Can a balance be found that allows tourism to flourish at the same time as supporting our housing needs? Not if the new forest district council maintains the strict building code which is out of date taking into account our new housing needs especially as it is so much harder for first-time buyers to enter the private sector when mortgages are harder to find and even harder to afford during this recession.
We all know that the council wish to retain the essence of the area by preventing unsightly developments which could have a devastating impact upon our beautiful surroundings. This being the case, somebody explain the councils recent planning consent that allowed the, unsightly and totally out of character, opening of the ‘99p store’ in Lymington high street? Ludicrous!
Housing is what we need, not a garish store selling cheap junk. Double standards at work by a council full of out-of-touch bureaucrats that just don’t care.

The breathtaking Berlin can’t be described in only certain pages. The German capital can suggest much more than what an excursionist may experience in one or even two weeks of vacation. To have a somewhat proper idea about Berlin, it is enough to say that it has a surface of approximately 900 square kilometers, it receives 850.000 visitors annually and hosts 172 museums and palaces, 50 theaters, over 200 clubs and discotheques, 3 zoos, tens of lakes, beaches, parks, art galleries, operas and malls.
From a touristic point of view, Berlin is the dream of any person who has a fondness for traveling. This capital is the European metropolis with the richest history but also with the most fulminant revival. The city, shocked after the Second World War, disturbingly affected by the Berlin Wall and the divided administration, finds itself for 18 years in a tough process of rebirth, reinvention and renovation. Today, the capital of Germany represents one of the most influential world centers of fun, music, tolerance, culture, art and tourism.
In Berlin you can find anything you need in order to savor the perfect vacation. The two rivers that cross the city (Spree and Havel) also form a lovely collection of small lakes which were transformed by the local administration into calm beaches. Over the River Spree there are a lot of terraces and bars, restaurants and clubs. Ships and all types of boats are scheduled regularly, therefore constituting a solid delight for amateur tourists. The possibilities of exploring the city are extremely seductive. You can appeal to the easiest method: along with a competent guide you can start inspecting the city on foot. But you may also choose other options. In Berlin there are grouped tours of the city. Because Berlin has hundreds of miles of bike lanes, my specific recommendation would be to take a two-wheeled tour of the city. A boat ride – with the help of a tour guide – could be another possible alternative.
Sights of Berlin must be sorted according to preferences. Therefore, a thorough documentation before departure is advised. However, one thing is sure – no matter what type of vacation you choose – whether is cultural, artistic, for relaxation, for fun or mixed – you have all the chances in the world to spend some of the most appealing and entertaining days here.
There are many attractions that you should see while visiting Berlin. This capital has over 170 museums and palaces, more than enough for an art lover. The Museuminsel is the most significant museum complex in Germany (found on the UNESCO World Heritage List) – it hosts 5 different museums, visited year after year by more than 800.000 tourists.
The Pergamom Museum is Berlin’s most visited museum, mostly due to the fact that it hosts 3 outstanding art collections – the Antique Collection, the East Museum and the Islamic Art Collection.
Checkpoint Charlie is the most appropriate place for those trying to discover some of Berlin’s hidden history. Here you will see photo exhibitions, movies and you will be able to take part in unique meetings between those who were witnesses or those who played an influential role in the shatter of the Berlin Wall.
The History Museum is hosted inside an extremely large but interesting palace, built in a Baroque style. Zeughaus was initially built in 1695, by the order of Frederick III. Up until the beginning of the 20th century it served as an Arsenal and a Military Museum. In the Second World War, the palace was almost completely destroyed by bombings. It was reconstructed and since 1990 it hosts permanent art and history galleries.
The Charlottenburg Palace was erected at the end of the 17th century by Frederick III, as a summer residence for his wife, Sophie Charlotte. The palace, opened for public six days per week, astonishes the tourists with its beauty and its decorations. It deserves to be and you should have at least some hours to spare if you want to see all that it has to offer.
The Egyptian Museum is one of the most famous museums with this thematic in the entire world. Here you can find the impressive bust of Nefertiti, 3000 years old, as well as the Papyrus Collection which includes hundreds of ancient Egyptian elements.
Berlin is one of Europe’s most important capitals when it comes to tourism, art and history. Book a room at and enjoy a great vacation in the beautiful German capital.

Once it was the great pyramids, the Sphinx or the Valley of the Kings that drew travellers to Egypt’s sandy shore but the Red Sea and its bountiful depths are becoming a popular lure. Nestled between the edges of the Africa and Asian landmasses, the Red Sea is blessed with deep waters, so if you don’t fancy getting wet, you can peer down from the safety of your boat into the crystal clear waters below. <BR><BR> However, should diving or snorkelling feature highly on your to do list, there are more than 1000 species of fish to frolic with beneath the surface, gliding through stunning synchronised performances that show off a startling array of fish in a rainbow of colour. Along with this exquisite collection of fish, there are also a great many other species and around 200 recorded coral types. To dive into the Red Sea is to open your eyes to an exceptional underwater world and one of the best diving and snorkelling spots in the world. <BR><BR> Coral reefs close to shore offer those with a snorkel the perfect opportunity to swim surrounded by teaming schools of brightly coloured fish whilst leaving the deep sea diving to those more at home in deep waters. Some reefs stretch far out to sea and create stunning underwater caves and lagoons each teaming with small flickering fish, eels, sharks and possibly a resplendent turtle or two. <BR><BR> Whilst a haven for divers, the Red Sea is not so kind to ships and many have floundered within its water. The famous Thistlegorm wreck is one of the most popular dives in the area, a veritable museum beneath the waves. Settled on the seabed she remains filled with her cargo of World War II motorcycles, jeeps, trucks and rifles interspersed with moray eels and shoals of fish. Beside the wreck you can also find the locomotive engines that toppled from its deck during the explosion that caused her watery demise. <BR><BR> The Dunraven is another popular wreck. A Victorian steam and sail ship, it sank after catching fire and grounding upon a reef before sinking out of sight and landing upside down on the sea bed. Stripped in the 80s by a team of archaeologists, the inside is a veritable haven for fish, with schools of yellow goat fish and giant morays.Due to its lengthy time below, the exterior has been coated in coral filled with marine life including schools of bat fish, pipe fish and the rare ghost pipe fish. <BR><BR> Diving in the Red Sea is an utterly addictive experience that tempts travellers back to <a target=”_blank” href=” holidays</a> time and time again due to its calm, silt free waters and year round warm temperatures. <BR><BR>

Westminster lies on the northen bank of the River Thames and is within the City of Westminster. It is home to some of London’s most prestigious landmarks and visitor attractions. It has been the centre of the British Government for almost a millennium.
Westminster hotels are conveniently placed for the following attractions:
Westminster Abbey is a wonderful building built by Edward the Confessor and the traditional venue of the coronation of the kings and queens of England, including that of William the Conqueror in 1066. It is also a burial ground of Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth I, Chamberlain, Gladstone and Chaucer to name but a few. Ben Jonson, the poet, was buried upright. The funeral service for Princess Diana was held at the Westminster Abbey but she was not buried there.
Big Ben is one of the most recognisable landmarks in London. Most people think that Big Ben is the name of the clock tower standing next to the Houses of Parliament, but it is actually the name of the Great Bell that chimes within it. The clock tower was constructed after the old Palace of Westminster was destroyed by fire on 16th October 1834. Watch out for the light above Big Ben – it illuminates when Parliament is sitting.
Houses of Parliament is more correctly known as the Palace of Westminster which was built by Edward the Confessor in 1040. It was the principal residence of the kings of England since its construction until 1512.
The present Houses of Parliament were built after the Palace of Westminster was destroyed by fire in 1834 amd it took about 30 years to complete. Its existing buildings contain about 1,200 rooms, 100 staircases and over 2 miles od passages.
Parliament Square is the square located opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. It is a tourist magnet and attracts hordes of camera-toting visitors every day. It is also a venue of large scale protests such as the anti-capitalist May Day protest in 2000 and the anti-war protest in March 2003. There are also lots of statues of famous politicians including Abraham Lincoln, Sir Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela.
The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, has been the most popular paid tourist attraction in the UK. Standing at a height of 135 metres, it is the largest ferris wheel in Europe, It lets people climb above the city and enjoy the panoramic view of Westminster and the rest of London. Since 1st January 2005, the London Eye has been the focal point of London’s New Year celebrations, with firework displays welcoming in the New Year, and involving fireworks firing from the wheel itself.
The Cenotaph is a War memorial located in Whitehall in the vicinity of Downing Street. A remembrance service is held here every year on the Sunday nearest to 11th November at 11.00am to commemorate the War Heros who died in the two world wars. More than one million men and women from Britain and the Commonwealth died in World War I between 1914 and 1918, and nearly 500,000 in World War II from 1939 to 1945.
Downing Street is named after Sir George Downing who bought the land and built the houses on it in 1680. Traditionally, No. 10 Downing Street has been the official residence of British Prime Ministers and No. 11 Downing Street the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, since 1732. However, for a period of about 10 years when Labour came to power in 1997, the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, switched residences to enable the Prime Minister’s growing family to have more room.
Horse Guards is Whitehall’s biggest tourist attraction. The Trooping of the Colour, where the Queen inspects her troops is held here every year on the Queen’s official birthday, on the third Saturday of June. The Household Cavalry mounts the guard here (10.00am – 4.00pm daily). The Changing of the Guard takes place every day (Monday to Saturday) at 11.00am and Sunday at 10.00am. This is different from the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.
Trafalgar Square commemorates England’s victory over France at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Nelson’s Column, built in 1842 and standing at 170 feet tall, is in the centre of the square with four large lions guarding it at the base of the column. Today, Trafalgar Square is one of the city’s most vibrant open spaces and provides a platform for new artistic performances and events. Visitors to Trafalgar Square used to enjoy feeding pigeons before the authorities put a ban to this popular activity.
Admiralty Arch on the south-west of Trafalgar Square, incorporated offices and residents for the Sea Lords at the time. It was designed by Sir Aston Webb in 1910 and completed in 1911 to provide an impressive ceremonial archways and form a spectacular entrance to The Mall leading up to Buckingham Palace. In 2000, the Cabinet Office moved into offices in the building, while maintaining its headquarters on Whitehall.
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. When the Queen is in residence, the Royal Standard flag is raised. You can watch the Changing of the Guard for free at 11.30am every morning during summer and every other day during winter (weather permitting). Regular exhibitions take place at the Queen’s Gallery to enable the public to see one of the finest private collections of art and antiques in the world.
