East Hampshire District Council is a local government authority serving the Petersfield area and the East Hampshire district in England. It provides services to residents, businesses and partners and pursues collaborative approaches, including a shared management team with Havant Borough Council to improve efficiency and service delivery. The council has pursued income diversification and asset investment, notably through property holdings, to support its operations and reduce reliance on traditional funding. Its staff are described as adaptable and the council emphasizes delivering services while seeking opportunities to reduce costs and generate income. Notable recent developments include leadership changes in 2026, with Dawn Adey appointed chief executive and Penny Flux becoming chair (with David Evans as vice-chair), and a 2025 partnership with Hampshire County Council to explore a financially sustainable local government reorganisation. The council also funds community initiatives, including support for local cultural projects such as the Petersfield Shakespeare Company.
