we promise

Buy local

Councils should focus on buying from local firms, particularly for physical goods, supporting the local economy and reducing transport costs.

Be flexible

Businesses change over time, we want to make change of use planning quick and easy. Wherever possible we should remove roadblocks to start-ups.

Give & Take

Working with business to reduce restrictive red tape and encourage business development to be symbiotic within Hampshire. Remembering business pays wages and taxes, which support social infrastructure.

Businesses pay for everything

Business is where money is earned, it pays for all of the council services. We want Hampshire to be the place to do business, particularly start-ups. We won’t allow businesses to run the county, but we won’t pointlessly get in their way either.
