Great Expectations? 

We take a look at elections to come. 

The Gorton & Denton by election - will Labour receive an electoral bloody nose - and if so, who lands the political punch? What will the result indicate for the local elections to follow? 

With one Councillor up for re-election in each of the city’s 14 wards in May we take look at who is reaching the end of their term, likelihood they’ll stand again and whether previous results and current public feeling give any indication of what parties will hold which seats, and which will change hands. Nominations close April 9th with announcement to follow confirming the candidates appear on the ballot in each ward. 

We’ll be livestreaming in portrait 📱on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn & Instagram and also a 2nd stream to YouTube, in landscape 🖥️

There are few things that get Portsmouth residents excited nearly as much as the apparently endless roadworks, struggles with parking, the prevalence of potholes.

Are you PVd with EV?

Are you bonkers about buses?
