Andover North — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.

Charlton Ward is one of the smallest wards in Andover. It contains a Pub, a shop, Charlton Lakes and a small housing estate. It is surrounded by country side. Charlton Village is a pretty little village and , although very close to Andover, has a charm of its own. Charlton has many recreational facilities for all ages surrounding Charlton Lakes.

The Ward of Bourne Valley covers 6,678 hectares in the north of Test Valley. Bourne Valley is a rural ward which includes the villages of Faccombe, Hurstbourne Tarrant, Hatherden, Linkenholt, Tangley and Vernham Dean. Bourne Valley is the largest ward in the borough and is the least densely populated ward in Test Valley. The ward borders Basingstoke and Deane to the East, West Berkshire to the north and Wiltshire to the west.
