Have your say: Stephen’s Morgan MP’s Big Conversation on Investing in Portsmouth

By 6 October 2023No Comments

Stephen Morgan MP is inviting constituents to attend the next in a series of pop-up events to share views and ideas relating to investment in Portsmouth.

It follows Mr Morgan’s previous events on caring for our local NHS, protecting Portsmouth’s precious environment and making our city’s streets safer.

The events form part of Mr Morgan’s Big Conversation, a listening campaign providing constituents with an opportunity to have their say on the issues that matter to them, shaping the Portsmouth South MP’s priorities for the year ahead.

The next event will take place on Saturday 14 October 1PM-4PM, in Commercial Road, near the fountain outside Wendy’s.

No booking is required, and constituents are invited to drop by whenever is most convenient for them. A gazebo will be staffed by team members and volunteers with a range of interactive activities.

The event will provide constituents with an opportunity to discuss their views, ideas and concerns relating to Portsmouth is being held back by a lack of investment.

During the event, attendees will be invited to share their views on what Mr Morgan should be prioritising in Westminster, including:

  • Restoring high streets
  • Investing in cycle lanes and public transport
  • Supporting struggling local businesses
  • Providing green spaces
  • Tackling graffiti and tagging
  • Investing in the city’s cultural and sporting scene

Commenting ahead of the event, the City MP said:

“Portsmouth is fizzing full of potential but has been overlooked by successive Governments, who have not given our city the investment it desperately needs and deserves.

That’s why I want to hear from fellow residents their ideas on where future investment should be targeted to improve Portsmouth for the better.

I encourage constituents to attend this Big Conversation pop-up event to share their thoughts on what I should be prioritising as their local Member of Parliament.”
