Regional Research Note | 8 February 2012
Hampshire councils’ air travel In October 2011 the TaxPayers’ Alliance exposed how much money was spent on flights by councils in the Midlands.1 Now, with its first research note, the Hampshire branch of the TaxPayers’ Alliance can reveal the cost to taxpayers of air travel taken by all local authorities in the area from April 2009 to November 2011. The key findings of this research are:
More than £135,000 was spent on flights by councils in the Hampshire area between April 2009 and November 2011.
Southampton City Council spent the most with a total of £55,687.
Only 2 councils, Hart District and Havant Borough, did not pay for any flights.
East Hampshire District and Fareham Borough Councils spent £342 on flights to attend a Local Government Association conference in Leeds.
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council spent almost £12,000 on flights to EU conferences paid for by taxpayers through EU budgets.
Hampshire County Council spent £45,000 on flights, including £1,395 to send staff to an Assembly of European Regions Bureau meeting.
Test Valley Borough Council spent £431 to send an employee to Chicago to attend the International Institute of Municipal clerks’ conference.
Eastleigh Borough Council spent over £500 on flights to send staff on Arts and Tourism training.
More than £5,500 was spent on flights for on twinning visits between April 2009 and November 2011. This includes £2,168 by Fareham Borough Council visiting Vannes in France and Pulheim in Germany; £1,696 spent by Gosport Borough Council visiting Royan in France; and £1,457 by Rushmoor Borough Council visiting Oberursel in Germany.
Hampshire County Council spent £101 on a flight to Brussels on a fact-finding visit for new member of staff to increase their knowledge of EU opportunities to help secure additional grants.

This research was compiled by sending Freedom of Information requests to all councils in the Hampshire area. The responses to the requests found that all flights were economy class and the vast majority paid for by the local authorities. The remainder were funded through EU grants, government departments or government agencies – ultimately all flights were paid for by taxpayers (excluding some flights taken by New Forest District Council). Both Southampton City Council and Hampshire County Council have responsibility for child protection, therefore some of the flights taken by staff in those authorities were for attendance at fostering panels, parenting assessments and other related meetings. Notes to tables:
All flights taken by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, apart from the two Euskirchen events for the Mayor and the procurement conference, were funded by European Union projects and Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council were fully reimbursed.
All flights for New Forest District Council marked with a [-] were externally funded either through grants, or projects won in competition, through the Channel Coastal Observatory regional centre of excellence (hosted by NFDC).
Southampton City Council was not able to guarantee that the information they provided is all flights taken because of the absence of a central database. The total for this Council could therefore be higher. To arrange broadcast interviews or to discuss the research, please contact: Emma Boon Campaign Director, TaxPayers' Alliance emma.boon@taxpayersalliance.com 07795 084 113
