Purpose

Our role is to make official decisions understandable while testing claims against evidence. Coverage focuses on mainland Hampshire, with the Isle of Wight included where needed to explain regional structures and devolution.

Use of AI

We use artificial intelligence to support research, drafting and the neutralisation of loaded language. AI output is not treated as evidence, and hants.online remains responsible for everything it publishes.

Corrections and contact

A public contact channel will be added before live deployment. Until then, the source register provides the evidence behind current pages. Material corrections will be identified transparently under our editorial methodology.
