History
District of Hart (Red) and County of Hampshire (White). Community Campaign (Hart) stands in Hart for district and county elections.

Community Campaign Hart was formed at a meeting in 2003 attended by several local councillors[1], with an election strategy meeting taking place before the 2004 local elections[2]. In the subsequent election, the first Community Campaign Hart councillors were elected with numbers increasing over the next few years; as of 2020 there are now eleven. Alongside the district councillors, Cllr John Bennison was elected to the Church Crookham and Ewshot Division ward of Hampshire County Council in 2013 and re-elected in 2017 as the party's sole county councillor. This is out of five councillors from Hart itself, alongside two Conservatives, and two Liberal Democrats.
