What kind of stories
easthampshire.org is a community website, so you are welcome to add any news the community may be interested in.
However we reserve the right to refuse or delete events with unsuitable or offensive content.
Because this is a website for East Hampshire, the story should be either based in East Hampshire, about someone from East Hampshire, or of signficant interest specifically to people in East Hampshire.
The easthampshire.org team reserves the right to have the final say about what should be included on the site.
