Stephen Morgan MP is inviting constituents to attend the second of a series of pop-up events to share views and ideas on local and national concerns relating to safety on our streets.
It follows Mr Morgan’s first pop-up event on protecting Portsmouth’s precious environment, where constituents shared their views on what actions the city MP could continue to take to protect Portsmouth from climate change.
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 2 September from 11am-2pm in Bransbury Park, Milton.
No booking is required, and constituents are invited to drop in 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 making our streets safer, with a number of local agencies present to give advice.
During the event, attendees will be invited to share their views on what Mr Morgan should be prioritising in Westminster, including:
- Violence against women and girls
- Violent crime
- Drug use
- Anti-social behaviour
- Fraud
- Burglary
- Shoplifting
Commenting ahead of the event, the City MP said:
“Communities in Portsmouth have become less safe under this Government’s watch, with neighborhood policing hollowed out, anti-social behaviour on the rise, and perpetrators of violence against women going unpunished.
We can work together to make Portsmouth’s streets safer. That’s why I want to hear directly from local people their local and national crime and safety concerns.
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.”
Constituents unable to attend this event are encouraged to have their say by filling out Mr Morgan’s online survey at www.stephenmorgan.org.uk/bigconversation
