AS WORK on Ringwood’s new youth centre gets under way, here is an artist’s impression of what it will look like.

The building at Carvers Playing Field will be taking shape over the next 24 weeks at a cost of £548,000.

Funds for the project have been contributed by Hampshire County Council, New Forest District Council, Ringwood Town Council and Ringwood School. It will be used for activities including a youth club and will be a base for charities and organisations to provide advice and support to the town’s young people.
