HAMPSHIRE County Council is currently experiencing problems with its website.
People trying to log onto the county council's main website - hants.gov.uk - are currently being told that the website cannot load.
This is also affecting the websites of schools across Basingstoke and Deane as their webpages are also run by the county council.
Louise Payne, communications officer at Hampshire County Council, told The Gazette that the local authority's IT system is currently down and work is being carried out to resolve the issue.
She added: "We apologise to all our service users. The problem is being worked on and we don't know what time it will be up and running yet but we will keep people informed on our social media sites."
