  • St Thomas ward hustings 2024

    St Thomas ward hustings 2024
    Apr 25 2024
    We're joined by two of the candidates standing in St Thomas ward in this year's local elections - Elliot Lee (Greens) & Mark Zimmer (Reform). Unfortunately Ian Holder (Lib Dem) was unable to make the hustings due to prior work commitments. At time of recording we had not heard from the other candidates: Julian Lewis (Labour), David Chandler (Conservative) & John Burrows (TUSC). 1. Tell us about yourself, your history, why you're standing for the party you are? 2. What are the top three issues for St Thomas - and what would you do about them? 3. In a cost-of-living crisis, how is another year of maximum level council tax rises justified - what would you see done to help those struggling? 4. With recent flooding in Old Portsmouth, and the ongoing new sea defences works, what would you do to better protect residents and properties from future events given their likelihood and severity is set to increase? 5. What would you do to tackle anti social behaviour, generally and in places like Hot Walls & Camber Docks which are repeated hotspots? 6. What’s your view on the implementation of ‘Low Traffic Neighbourhoods’ where through traffic is heavily discouraged in order to reduce dependence on cars and increase active travel? 7. HMOs - satisfying a need for cheap and flexible housing or profiteering disruption of communities? How would you see their expansion managed better for new and existing residents? 8. If neither money or politics were an issue, what would you change about how Portsmouth City Council functions? 9. If you're successful, what's top of your list do get done on day one? -Closing speeches

    Paulsgrove Hustings 2024
    Apr 18 2024
    In a change to our planned hustings, unfortunately the Green candidate Ian McCulloch was taken ill and not able to attend. We'd not heard from the Labour, Liberal Democrat or Conservative candidate so put our questions to George Madgwick standing in Paulsgrove for the Portsmouth Independents Party. 1. Tell us about yourself, your history, why you're standing for the party you are? 2. What are the top three issues for Paulsgrove - and what would you do about them? 3. Anti-social behaviour and crime in general are issues across the city - what would you do to make Paulsgrove safer for its residents? 4. What needs to change about how Portsmouth City Council works? 5. In a cost-of-living crisis, how is another year of maximum level council tax rises justified - what would you see done to help those struggling? 6. The ward is poorly served when it comes to public transport - what would you do to change that? 7. If you're successful, what's top of your list do get done on day one?
