Hart, Local government district in Hampshire, England
Hart is an administrative district in Hampshire that includes the towns of Fleet, Blackwater, and Yateley along with various villages throughout the countryside. The area combines urban centers with surrounding rural landscape.
The district formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, bringing together the former Hartley Wintney Rural District and Fleet Urban District. This merger created the current administrative structure.
The name Hart comes from the deer that once roamed the region, and this heritage is reflected in the council's logo showing a stag's head. Walking through the district, you'll notice how this symbol and the deer connection shape local identity.
The district council operates from the Civic Offices in Fleet on Harlington Way and provides various local services in coordination with Hampshire County Council. Main services are accessible from the council offices.
The district has held a strong position among the least deprived areas in England, showing remarkable social stability over time. This standing sets it apart from many other administrative regions across the country.
