Eastleigh Borough Council

Eastleigh Borough Council (EBC) is proud of what it has achieved. As a medium-sized district council with big ambitions, it has delivered a large number of major projects and initiatives, ensuring it continues to be progressive and innovative in its approach.

The Council employs over 500 professional staff at various sites and serves around 136,000 residents, as well as a diverse range of businesses.

EBC has a proud record of delivering excellent services that improve the lives of our residents and support the communities that make up Eastleigh Borough. Our success in doing so was recently recognised when we were named Council of Year 2022 by the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE).

Investing in our Community

In recent years, the Council has delivered a wide assortment of capital projects focused on putting its communities and customers first – from the development of Places Leisure Eastleigh (one of the largest leisure centres on the South Coast) and the nationally recognised Stoneham Football Complex to a new M&S Foodhall in the town centre and an eco-friendly visitor centre at Lakeside Country Park. The Council has offices in the heart of Eastleigh to provide excellent access for its customers.
