About Hook
'Sedges' sculpture in Holt Park
Hook is situated in the district of Hart, in north east Hampshire. It is a large village (in 2011 the population was 8,334) lying astride the A30, just to the north of the M3 at Junction 5, about six miles from Basingstoke.
The village is bounded on the east side by the picturesque valley of the River Whitewater, and to the south by two areas of common land – Hook Common and Bartley Heath.
Bartley Heath is an area of wet heathland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is particularly remarkable for the presence of the rare Marsh Gentian.
Bartley Heath and Hook Common are easily accessible from the village and are a great place to enjoy wildlife. For more information visit the Hampshire Wildlife Trust‘s website.
Hook has a busy community life – find out more from the links on the About Hook menu to the left of the page.

Hook Parish Council was approached by the housing promoter, Falcon Communities, at a very early stage with the proposal to build a small number of discounted market affordable dwellings in the Parish. Before this concept scheme can be developed further, Falcon Communities, in conjunction with Hampshire Homes Hub, are required to evidence a need for this particular type of housing in Hook. A Housing Needs Survey must, therefore, be undertaken to establish the need for the proposed scheme. Hook Parish Council cannot form a view about the concept scheme until it can be shown that Hook residents need it. Any

The Environment Agency has issued a warning of using rogue 'man and a van' rubbish removers as you could become an accidental criminal. The Environment Agency is warning Facebook users that if the person they hire then dumps the rubbish by the side of the road, or burns it in a field, they themselves could face criminal charges. These illegal waste carriers undermine legitimate businesses, undercut their prices, as well as blight the environment. There are simple steps to check if they are properly licensed: www.gov.uk/government/news/beware-of-rogue-man-and-van-rubbish-removers-on-facebook
