Community Campaign (Hart)


Community Campaign is a minor localist political party based in the district of Hart in the north east of Hampshire. Founded in 2003, it has contested both district and county elections within Hart, and has successfully gained representation in both the district council and county council.

History

Community Campaign Hart was formed at a meeting in 2003 attended by several local councillors, with an election strategy meeting taking place before the 2004 local elections. In the subsequent election, the first Community Campaign Hart councillors were elected with numbers increasing over the next few years; as of 2020 there are now eleven. Alongside the district councillors, Cllr John Bennison was elected to the Church Crookham and Ewshot Division ward of Hampshire County Council in 2013 and re-elected in 2017 as the party's sole county councillor. This is out of five councillors from Hart itself, alongside two Conservatives, and two Liberal Democrats.
