Visiting the Borough

 

Located in central southern Hampshire, the Borough is a combination of coast,countryside, quiet villages and busy towns.  It stretches from Netley on the banks of Southampton Water, the historic river villages of Hamble-le-Rice, Bursledon and Botley, the developing areas of Hedge End, West End and Fair Oak and the green residential belt of Chandler's Ford. The town of Eastleigh with its excellent shopping, parking and Help Point facilities and plenty of opportunities for leisure and entertainment is the administrative and commercial centre of the Borough.


With a population of over 117,000 the Borough has seen a rapid and controlled expansion in residential, industrial and commercial development over recent years.
