Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust has welcomed Winchester City Council's decision to recognise nature as essential infrastructure, calling on councils across the region to follow Winchester's lead.
Winchester MP Danny Chambers has been unanimously reselected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the next General Election, pledging to continue fighting for local hospital services, cleaner rivers and support with the cost of living.
Hampshire's council reorganisation remains under review, with a decision now expected by early 2027. Meanwhile, Lib Dem mayoral candidate Martin Tod has warned that delaying the region's first mayoral election could cost up to £180 million.
