 BACKGROUND
The Partnership follows on from an initiative of New Milton Town Council. In March 2002, a steering group made up of a partnership of the Town Council and local groups of people from within the community, representing the business, public, community and voluntary sectors active in New Milton was established. The group was called the New Milton Town Project Group.
Following the completion of the Health Check and the drafting of an Action Plan for New Milton that identified 30 separate projects for the town, the Town Project Committee agreed that the Town Project Group should be dissolved at the end of April of 2004. It was decided that the Town Project Group would be replaced by a charitable association, to be called the New Milton Town Partnership, which would act as the new vehicle that would deliver the project’s long-term aims.
In June 2004, the New Milton Town Partnership (the Partnership) was established, and an Executive Committee was appointed. Membership of the Partnership is voluntary and is open to residents of, or anyone owning a business or property or having a main place of work within, the parish boundary.
The objectives of the Partnership are to:
1) Promote the benefit of the inhabitants of New Milton without distinction and the neighbourhood together defined by New Milton Town Parish by associating the said inhabitants and the local authorities to realise New Milton's full potential as a vibrant town meeting the needs of residents and businesses, and as a strategic visitor gateway for the New Forest and South Coast.
2) Promote and facilitate other such charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.
The constitution of the New Milton Town Partnership was agreed in July 2004 and an application for charitable unincorporated status made.
The Executive Committee will be consist of at least seven and not more than ten members:
the honorary officers (chairman, vice-chairman, secretary and treasurer)
one member nominated annually by New Milton Town Council
at least three, and not more than six, members elected at the annual general meeting and who will hold office from the conclusion of that meeting.
The current Executive Committee is shown on the Partnership
