Have your say on the future of your council.
Do you think Portsmouth should be part of the Government’s plans to reorganise local councils?
That’s one of the questions we’re asking in a short, five minute survey only open until Sunday 29 June (midnight), to give local people a voice in central plans for a major shake-up of how local council services are delivered.
Under its plans for Local Government Reorganisation, central Government is looking to replace existing councils with new bigger councils, covering areas of around 500,000 people.
Government has said Portsmouth will have to take part because our population is around 208,000. This would see Portsmouth City Council replaced by a new authority looking after a larger area.
So we are working with our neighbouring councils to prepare region-wide options, and we want to capture local views through this survey to inform this work.
