-
Alton Town Council was created on 1 April 1974 as a result of local government
re-organisation and has the status and powers of a parish council. -
The services provided by the former Alton Urban District Council were transferred to
Hampshire County Council and the newly formed East Hampshire District Council. -
The Town Council's only statutory function is the provision of allotments, however, it
chooses to provide a multitude of other local services for the benefit of the locality that
are not provided by the principal councils. These range from open spaces and sports
facilities to Christmas lights and floral displays.
Full details of all the Town Council's activities are shown on this website.
