Budget Choices - What do you think?
February 2026
Welcome to the latest edition of Fareham Borough Council's E-panel.
It's a great way to get involved with Council consultations and it gives residents a chance to have their say.
Let's Talk Fareham Finances - extended!
The Council is reviewing its finances carefully, and this year's Annual Budget Consultation is particularly important. Rising costs and economic pressures mean it is costing more to deliver some of your core services.
We are inviting residents to share feedback on the Council's proposals and priorities for planning their budgets.
Have your say by 16 February 2026
Let's Talk Dog Control
The Council is proposing to renew its current Dog Control Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for another 3 years and your views matter.
Whether you're a dog owner, a park user, or someone who simply cares about keeping our shared spaces clean and safe, we'd really value your feedback

Let's Talk Fareham's Tenancy Strategy
The Council are consulting on a draft Tenancy Strategy, which sets out the Council's approach to managing tenancies and supporting households across the Borough. Fareham's draft strategy focuses on four priorities:
- Offering secure (lifetime) tenancies as the preferred option
- Making the most effective use of affordable and social housing
- Minimising and preventing homelessness
- Providing support to help households sustain their tenancy
We would like your feedback to ensure the strategy is clear, accessible, and meets the needs of tenants and providers.
