How decisions are made

We run a 'leader and cabinet' model. This works in the same way as the Prime Minister and cabinet but on a local scale.

Cabinet

The cabinet makes collective policy decisions for the council.

Councillor allowances

Councillors are not paid a salary but are given an allowance to support activities and initiatives in the community.

Become a councillor

Councillors are people elected to represent their local community. Find out how to become one here.

Town and parish councils

The most local level of government that can influence decisions that affect the local area and bring life to their communities.

Chair of the council

Each year a different member of the council is elected to be Chair at the Annual Council Meeting in May.

Your MPs

There are two parliamentary constituencies in East Hampshire. Each constituency has one MP.
