Have your say

It's time to play your part in making the city a better place to be.

We are committed to finding ways to inform, consult and involve local people in the issues that affect them.  There are lots of ways you can have your say in Portsmouth, from commenting on public consultations, to attending your local Neighbourhood Forum or volunteering in your community.

Below you can find out about our consultation process, along with current consultations that you can comment on.  Also, there are details of our Neighbourhood Forums, explaining how you'll be able to make your voice heard to join and where and when they meet.

For other opportunities to get involved in your community, please contact Democratic & Community Engagement on 023 9268 8555.
