Stakes is an electoral ward in the borough of Havant in Hampshire, lying on the southern edge of the south coast. It is predominantly residential with a mix of council and privately owned housing, local shops and community facilities, and benefits from good road and rail links that make commuting to nearby urban centres straightforward.
The ward’s character reflects suburban growth through the 20th century and a settled community feel: schools, community centres and small businesses are important locally, while residents often use nearby coastal and countryside attractions such as Hayling Island and Langstone Harbour. Economically many people commute to jobs in Portsmouth and Chichester, and local voluntary groups and events help maintain a strong social network.
