Reform UK Havant Branch

22/06/2026

Labour promised change. Millions of voters backed them expecting something different. Nearly two years on, many are still waiting.

Across the country, confidence in this Government is draining away. Labour has failed to deliver on many of the issues that matter most to ordinary people. From tackling illegal immigration and reducing the cost of living to restoring trust in politics, the promises made during the General Election campaign have simply not been matched by delivery in Government.

The irony is hard to ignore. Labour spent years attacking the Conservatives over integrity, transparency and standards in public life. Yet many of the same behaviours they criticised are now being repeated under their own watch. If Labour believe they can simply replace one professional politician with another and carry on as before, they are badly mistaken.

Here in Havant, residents can see the same political games being played. Rather than standing proudly on their record, Labour have relied on deals with the Greens and Liberal Democrats to keep themselves in power. Parties that received far less support from the public have been handed influence in order to block Reform from delivering the change that residents voted for.

Meanwhile, Reform continues to grow because we are saying what millions of people are thinking. We are listening to residents, standing up for common sense, and challenging a political establishment that too often puts itself before the people it is supposed to serve.

In the most recent elections, Reform received the strongest mandate from voters across Havant. We are the largest political group locally because residents demanded change. That democratic mandate should be respected, not undermined by backroom arrangements designed to keep the old parties in control.

This country deserves the chance to remove a disastrous Labour Government that has failed to deliver the change it promised. It also deserves the opportunity to hold complacent MPs to account, including Alan Mak, who has represented Havant for over a decade while too many local concerns have gone unanswered and too many opportunities for real change have been missed.

The public are sending a clear message. They want secure borders. They want lower taxes. They want value for money from their councils and Government. They want politicians who put local people first. Above all, they want change.

That is why Havant Reform is calling for a General Election at the earliest opportunity.

If Labour is confident in its record, it should put that record before the electorate and let the public decide. Democracy works best when power flows from the people, not from Westminster deals and political manoeuvring.

The British people deserve their say. The people of Havant deserve their say.

It’s time for a General Election.

📢 CAN YOU HELP US FIND THE RIGHT PERSON?

Councillor Terry Norton is currently looking for a suitable candidate to fill a Governor vacancy at Riverside School in Purbrook.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to give back to the community and help support the education of local children and young people.

The ideal person could come from any background – business, finance, education, public service, the voluntary sector, or simply someone with the passion and commitment to make a difference.

👉 Do you know someone in Purbrook, Stakes, Waterlooville or the surrounding area who would be perfect for this role?

Please share this post and tag anyone who may be interested and encourage them to contact Terry Norton UK. Often the best candidates aren’t actively looking for the opportunity – they just need someone to point them in the right direction.

Let’s see if we can find the right person for Riverside School and help support the next generation of local young people.

🚧 GOOD NEWS FOR LONDON ROAD 🚧

From 29 June, Hampshire County Council will be carrying out road surface improvement works on the A3 London Road between the Ladybridge Road roundabout and Cottonwood Close.

The works will take place overnight (8pm–6am) for approximately 10 nights, so there will be some temporary disruption. However, the result will be a smoother, safer and more reliable road surface for local residents and motorists.

This is a welcome investment in our local highways, and I’ll continue pressing for improvements to roads across Havant.

This is simply not good enough.

Hayling Island residents are facing the prospect of an overflowing bins not being collected for up to six weeks. Across the south of the borough, recycling collections have been suspended altogether while residents are told to store extra waste at home and wait for the service to catch up.

Yet residents are paying more council tax than ever.

Let’s be clear: nobody is criticising the hardworking refuse crews on the ground. The responsibility lies with those running the council and overseeing the contract.

The Cabinet Member responsible for this service is Green councillor Netty Shepherd. Not only does she oversee this portfolio, she represents Hayling Island herself. If residents on Hayling are facing overflowing bins and weeks without collections, they are entitled to ask how this situation has been allowed to develop and why proper contingency plans were not in place before services reached this point.

This is the reality of the Lib Dem, Labour and Green coalition running Havant Borough Council. Despite Reform receiving the strongest mandate from voters and becoming the largest party, the coalition stitched together a deal to keep Reform out of office.

Residents were promised leadership. Instead they are getting missed collections, suspended services and excuses.

Havant Reform will not let this be brushed aside. We will continue demanding answers from the administration, scrutinising decisions and holding those responsible to account. Residents deserve reliable core services, proper value for money and a council focused on delivering for local people rather than protecting political arrangements.

People in Havant Borough are paying more and getting less. Residents didn’t vote for higher taxes and poorer services. They voted for change. Havant Reform will keep fighting to deliver it.
