Lengthsman
The name Lengthsman dates back to the 1800’s, referring to workers who were responsible for keeping a particular length of road neat and tidy.
Nowadays it is not feasible for parishes to have their own Lengthsman, but the work still needs doing. Hampshire County Council now funds a scheme under which parishes join together and share the services of Lengthsmen and East Meon joined this scheme in 2018. There is no cost to the Parish and we get the services of a Lengthsman for some 21 days a year.
To make any suggestions of works the Lengthsman could do, please contact the Clerk on 07860 630502 or email [email protected].
