Hampshire County Council is asking for people’s views on its budget for 2026/27.

The County Council has a strong track record for managing its finances well, living within its means, and has an excellent reputation as a high-performing local authority.

However, even with their continued focus on efficiency, transformation and innovation, the scale of the financial challenge ahead means that they face a budgetary shortfall for 2026/27 of £143m.

Consultation period: from 4 November to 11:59pm on 7 December 2025.

Please ensure that your response reaches them by this time as those received after the closing date will not be included in the consultation reports.
