CONSULTATIONS: 

There’s still time to share your views on how the County Council can balance its budget for the years ahead. Rising costs and growing demand for essential services mean we face tough decisions, and your feedback will help shape the options we consider.  The consultation closes at 11:59pm on Sunday, 7 December 2025. https://www.hants.gov.uk/.../consultat.../budgetconsultation
