the Wards has three elected Councillors and the remaining four
has just two. Borough Councillors each serve a four year term.

Follow
this link to see information about which Committees and Boards
the Councillors serve on.
The elected members of Havant Borough Council are subject to a
Code of Conduct as to their behaviour. This code is imposed by
central government. An important element of the Code has to do with
the declaration of any personal interests members might have in any
matter being considered by the Borough Council or any of its
Committees. In simple terms, if a member has an interest they have
to declare it at the meeting and then not take part in the
proceedings except under special, tightly controlled circumstances.
All the declarations are recorded in the minutes of the meeting,
and these minutes are public documents - they can be found using
our
ORION
system
>>
In addition to this, when elected for the very first time,
members have to make a general declaration of all sorts of
interests that might affect them when working as a councillor. This
declaration is kept on a register which is open to inspection by
the public. It is the responsibility of the member concerned to
keep their entry up to date. Anyone wishing to inspect the
Register of Members’ Interests may do
so at the Civic Offices, Civic Centre Road, Havant during the
Council’s normal opening hours (Monday to Friday). Please
email
democraticservicesteam@havant.gov.uk
or telephone 023 9244 6212 for further information or to arrange an
inspection.
Elections
Councillors are elected to serve
a four year term. With most Wards having three Councillors,
this means that each year one of those Councillors is subject to
election. In Wards where there are only two Councillors, there is
no election in one of the three years. The fourth year is reserved
for elections to Hampshire County Council (see below).

Hampshire County Councillors
Havant Borough is a "two-tier" local government area. This
means that some services (such as education, social services,
libraries) are provided by Hampshire County Council.
Borough Council Wards are combined into County Council
'Divisions', each of which has a County Councillor serving on
Hampshire County Council. In addition to your Borough Councillor,
you have the right to contact your relevant County Councillor; the
list is shown below. Follow the link from each Councillor's name in
the list below, to find out what Committees they serve on, address,
