Help shape the future of local government
We have a unique opportunity for you to help shape the future of local government in Hampshire and the Solent area. Central Government reforms mean that proposals are currently being developed for a new structure for local government across the area. Test Valley Borough Council wants to ensure that local people have an opportunity to help shape our submission to Government.
You may have already received a letter or spoken to recruitment agency Plus Four Market Research about this.
We’re partnering with independent research agency Thinks Insight and Strategy to host an online workshop in early July 2025. This is your chance to make a real impact on how your local council serves you and your community.
The research will see local people come together to ensure our proposals reflect citizens’ lives and interests. This research will aim to explore peoples’ experiences of and connections to their local area, the challenges and priorities impacting their lives. It will also seek to understand citizens’ needs and aspirations of their local council in the future.
What’s involved?
- Date: Tuesday 1 July 2025
- Format: 3-hour online workshop
- Participants: 25 residents from across Test Valley, selected to reflect the diversity of our community
- Thank you gift: £90 for your time and contribution
A set of guiding principles will be generated from this research which will inform our proposals for the future of local government in Hampshire and the Solent area.
