Rushmoor Borough Council is a local government authority serving the towns of Aldershot and Farnborough in north-east Hampshire, England. Established in 1974 through the merger of Aldershot Borough Council and Farnborough Urban District Council, it operates with councillors representing 13 wards. The council's core purpose is to work with others to improve the quality of people's lives, guided by four strategic priorities: sustaining a thriving economy and boosting local business; supporting and empowering communities and meeting local needs; creating a cleaner, greener, and more cultural Rushmoor; and ensuring services remain financially sound and fit for the future. It is a mid-sized local government body based in Farnborough, Hampshire. A notable development in 2026 is a partnership with the University for the Creative Arts to transform Union Yard into a vibrant cultural focal point for the town, in collaboration with Hampshire Cultural Trust. The council serves residents, local businesses and communities, aiming to strengthen the local economy, improve living standards, and enhance cultural life.
