We’re asking people who live, work or study in Hampshire to have their say on proposed changes to libraries. To understand what is being proposed, and why change is needed, please read the detailed information pack and respond via the consultation form online, or pop into your library. The consultation is open until 18 March 2020.

150 children and counting

Congratulations to Bob and Linda
Two of our longest serving foster carers have been awarded MBEs for their outstanding contribution to children’s services.  Bob and Linda Caddy have provided emergency, respite, short and long-term care for over 150 children and young people, many of whom they still keep in touch with and support.

Our commitment to zero carbon

A programme of tree and wildflower planting on highways land and verges in Hampshire will be part of a climate change action plan, as we press forward with a commitment to carbon neutrality for the county. We’re establishing an action plan to embed carbon reduction measures across our services and to make Hampshire more resilient to the impacts of a changing climate.
