Have fun and stay safe this autumn

As the nights draw in, thoughts turn to trick or treating, fireworks and autumnal family fun. But Halloween and Bonfire Night can come with their own challenges, so council Community Safety Patrol Officers are working to help keep the borough safe. The CSPOs are working with residents, shops and partner organisations as part of their Autumn Nights campaign.

Financial support for fresh start

A local charity will continue to provide relationship support for residents in the borough thanks to a significant cash boost. As part of its support for local organisations, the council has awarded £15,000 to counselling service Relate North Hampshire which provides help to couples, families, young people and to businesses and their employees.

Mayor showcases the best of the borough

Mayors from across Hampshire got to see a snapshot of the great things the borough has to offer during #LoveBasingstoke Day. The Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane Cllr Diane Taylor and her Consort Dr Andy Taylor welcomed dignitaries from other Hampshire authorities to the rolling countryside between Whitchurch and Overton.

Are you on the electoral register?

Residents have been answering the call to update the electoral register, with well over half already updating their details. More than 65% of households (over 50,000), have provided responses to the council's Electoral Registration Officer as part of the annual electoral registration canvass. Over 60% of these responses have been online, over the phone or by text.

Funding available for local sporting stars

The borough’s sporting stars are being invited to apply for sports funding through the Sports Grant Aid scheme funded by the council, and administered by Basingstoke Sports Council. The funding can be used to help with everything from travelling and coaching expenses to competition entry fees, equipment and clothing requirements.
