Over the Remembrance period there are a number of commemorative services taking place for the people of Ringwood to come together to remember and honour the service and sacrifice of all those that defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

At the Full Council meeting on 30 October 2024, representatives from three local organisations were invited to collect a certificate of grant aid, in recognition of the grants that had been awarded by the Council.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of lighting a lantern at Ringwood Gateway to honour all the brave individuals from our community who lost their lives while serving in the Armed Forces during World War I and World War II.

Ringwood Grand Fireworks will be held at Carvers on Sunday 3 November 2024 featuring two fireworks displays, fairground, children’s circus workshops, fire shows, live music and refreshments. New for this year, tickets are available to be purchased online only.

Four long-serving members of staff were recently celebrated for their outstanding commitment to the Council, contributing an impressive 108 years of service between them.

The Town Council supported local young people over the summer by running a Skate Jam and partnering with Ethical Activities Community Interest Company (CIC) to offer the Carvers Kayak Club. These programs provided safe, educational, and enjoyable opportunities for youth aged 9 to 15, encouraging skill development and community engagement.

Join in with this bi-annual community event and help to make the town sparkle!

The planning application for development of land off Moortown Lane has suffered another delay, and the developers must now engage with the Town Council to address our concerns.

The closing date for receipt of applications for the September round of grant aid is 4 September.

We are proud to announce that the Town Council has been accredited as a Living Wage Employer, reflecting our commitment to fair pay and ensuring the economic wellbeing of our employees.
