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.

Community Safety Survey
Hook and Odiham Lions have kindly offered to distribute the surveys to every household in Hook by the end of November.
The form is gummed and has a FREEPOST prepaid reply address on the back, to make returning easy. You can download and print copies or complete it online at https://hook.gov.uk/surveys/. This survey is per person, not just per household, so all members of your household respond. The closing date for returning the survey is 5pm 14th December 2020.
The results of the survey will help the Community Safety Working Group understand the type of unsolicited activities which are of concern to residents and to look at ways of ensuring Hook remains a safe and enjoyable place to live.
Our biodegradable Dog Poo bags are available to Hook dog owners, FREE.
If you require Dog Poo bags, please call the office number 01256 768687 to find out where your nearest doorstep collection point is.
All dog waste can be placed in ANY bin, not just the specific dog waste bins.
Did you know that Hook Parish Council has a mobile App? We were the first Council in Hampshire to have an App. Find events, local organisations, facilities and much much more.
Issues relating to roads, streetlights, footpaths, verges, potholes, fly tipping etc. should be reported to Fix My Street, as this will be passed on to the correct authority.
