Governance
Three Members of Parliament serve Chandler's Ford. The majority of Chandler's Ford was moved into Winchester constituency for the 2010 General Election, when Steve Brine of the Conservative Party was elected. Valley Park forms part of the Romsey and Southampton North constituency, won in 2010 by the Conservative Caroline Nokes. Part of the Eastleigh South ward lies west of the M3, and so is normally considered part of Chandler's Ford; it is in the Eastleigh constituency, represented by Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne.
The Eastleigh (Chandler's Ford) seat on the Hampshire County Council is held by Colin Davidovitz, representing the Conservative Party. Chandler's Ford is represented on Eastleigh Borough Council by four councillors. Haulwen V Broadhurst and Pamela Holden-Brown represent the Chandler's Ford East ward, while Alan Broadhurst and Grahame Smith represent Chandler's Ford West; all four are Liberal Democrats. Hiltingbury West is represented by Judith Grajewski and Michael Hughes, and Hiltingbury East by John Caldwell and Godfrey Olson; all four are Conservatives.
