Beaulieu Motor Museum - update

Please click here for the update that the Parish Council received today from the Beaulieu Estate team.

National Motor Museum – Parish Council Statement

Beaulieu Parish Council became aware yesterday of the announcement concerning the future of the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.

The arrangements between the Montagu family and the National Motor Museum Trust are a private matter between the parties concerned. The Parish Council was not involved in the discussions leading to the announcement, nor would we expect to have been.

The National Motor Museum has been an important part of Beaulieu for many decades and is internationally recognised. Understandably, the announcement has generated considerable interest and questions about what it may mean for the future. 

At this early stage, however, the Parish Council does not have information beyond that which has been made public and it would therefore be inappropriate for us to speculate about the potential impact on the village or about the future use of the site.

We will, of course, take a close interest in any future developments which have implications for Beaulieu and its residents.

In view of the number of media enquiries being received, the Parish Council will refer requests for comment to this statement.

Road safety

Beaulieu Parish Council has written to Hampshire County Council regarding the B3054 through Beaulieu, raising concerns about pedestrian safety, road conditions, drainage, traffic volumes, and the road's role as a key route through the New Forest. We have requested a meeting with Cllr. Dan Poole and Hampshire Highways officers and will provide a further update in due course. Please click here to see a copy of our letter.
