Managing the change to future councils

The joint committee for North Hampshire has been set up to begin working towards the transition. Head to the joint committees page for the latest information on managing the change to future councils.

In May 2027, elections will take place to elect councillors to the future North Hampshire Council. These councillors will form a shadow council (also referred to as shadow authority) for one year, to take over the work of the joint committee and continue to prepare for a smooth transition of services to the future council. On 1 April 2028, known as Vesting Day, the shadow authority will become the new North Hampshire Council and take over the running of services from the current councils.

Until 1 April 2028, the current councils will continue to run services as normal.

You can find information about the upcoming elections for North Hampshire Council on our Elections web page.
