Local councils

From the springs at Greywell to the confluence with the Blackwater, the Whitewater runs through seven parishes. These are the councils that shape what happens along its banks, and the places to make your voice heard.

Planning applications are decided by Hart District Council, but parish councils are consulted on every one of them, and they listen to residents. If a proposal worries you, your parish council is the fastest place to start.
