Eastleigh Borough Council

Eastleigh Borough Council is situated in Hampshire. At Eastleigh we are proud of what we have achieved. As a medium-sized district council with a £65m turnover and big ambitions, we have delivered a range of major projects and initiatives ensuring we continue to be progressive and innovative in our approach. In recent times we have delivered a diverse range of capital projects focusing on putting the community and customer first. From the opening of The Berry Theatre and the new Lowford Community Centre at Bursledon, to the redevelopment of a new leisure and entertainment complex in Eastleigh Town Centre to breathe new life into the local economy. We have moved our council offices to the heart of Eastleigh to provide better access to our customers and ensure visibility in our community. Our multi-million pound investment in the Ageas Bowl to redevelop the home of Hampshire Cricket into a ‘destination venue' with 4* Hilton Hotel and spa has delivered tangible economic benefits through job creation and bringing more visitors to our Borough. Our ambitions continue, with another major capital project to redevelop Fleming Park Leisure Centre planned; giving us an opportunity to generate income and provide quality leisure facilities and on going health benefits to local people. We have an excellent reputation with our customers – seen as friendly, approachable and working hard for our communities. We are respected by key partners and our culture is based on supporting one another to achieve results. We are known regionally for our willingness to try out new things, be innovative and take risk.
