From the Leader

Summer is a great time to get out and about to enjoy all that Hampshire has to offer.

With the London 2012 Olympics just a month away, this edition of Hampshire Now is an Olympics special. Meet England and Great Britain Hockey Forward, Alex Danson who tells us what it’s like competing in an Olympic Games.

There is much more taking place across Hampshire this summer, see our selection of events. There are over 70 events taking place across Hampshire in July to celebrate the Hampshire Food Festival.

You will find our regular features, such as the Hampshire walk which is at Fordingbridge in the New Forest, and Ask the expert about the campaign to reduce sudden infant deaths.

Councillor Ken Thornber, CBE
Leader of Hampshire County Council
