SPECTATORS attending events in a Hampshire field have been accused of causing problems for locals by parking badly.

Members of New Milton Town Council were told that driveways were being blocked by people leaving their vehicles in a service road near Fawcetts Field.

The issue was raised by Cllr Goff Beck at a meeting of the amenities committee. He said: “I think something has got to be done because this is creating a bad relationship between residents and the town council.”

Committee chairman, Cllr Geoffrey Blunden, said the council could talk to event organisers but added: “There is little way of controlling those who go to the events.”
