Portsmouth has been named the third most accessible city for electric vehicle charge points in the UK, with 59 per cent of residents now living within a five-minute walk of a charge point.
With so many concerns, from access to dentists and GPs to the cost-of-living crisis, housing issues, rising crime and anti-social behaviour, local Liberal Democrat councillors and campaigners have been busy fighting on behalf of residents and standing up for them in the face of cuts to public services.
Households in receipt of pension credit or council tax support will receive £100 from Liberal Democrat-led Portsmouth City Council in a bid to help with the rising cost of living.
Liberal Democrat-led Portsmouth City Council hosted four free events for city residents this summer that will help them find ways to be healthier and ditch the car with a wide variety of activities, discounts and giveaways on offer.
Residents have told local councillors time and again how difficult it can be to get a GP appointment. Portsmouth has the lowest number of GPs of any area of the country, and it really shows. In August, the Lib Dem-led City Council hosted the first GP Summit to look at how to get more GPs in the city.
Action by Lib Dem-led Portsmouth City Council will see 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year less going into the atmosphere.
