Andover Town Council is to investigate the future of its offices in the town centre. The council is looking into a range of options, including serviced office space in the town centre or at Test Valley Borough Council’s (TVBC) offices, occupying a shopfront in the high street or becoming fully remote. Officers had prepared a report into some of these options, but have now been instructed by councillors to investigate further possibilities ahead of a decision that needs to be made before October. At present, Andover Town Council occupies offices just off the High Street, which were closed in March 2020 due to the Covid pandemic.

Councillors have voted against a motion aimed at attracting Hong Kong residents to Test Valley. A motion was brought by Cllr David Coole that would have mandated Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) to write to the Home Office and Foreign Office to invite residents of the former British colony to the area. The move follows national announcements that former residents of the colony with a British National (Overseas) Passport are being given a path to citizenship in the UK, following the imposition of national security legislation that critics say is eroding Hong Kong’s freedoms. Cllr Coole said that it was “a multicultural and economic opportunity for Test Valley”, while others described it as a “pointless motion”.
