Portsmouth Liberal Democrats are a family of committed local campaigners and Councillors.
We campaign year-round to support the election of Liberal Democrat Councillors and MPs. Locally, we have been very successful in the last 20 years. We led Portsmouth Council 2009-2014 and regained control of it in 2018.
Our members and ward teams are found across the city but our office is in the heart of the city in Fratton.

This week, 292 Conservative MPs voted to allow sewage dumping by water companies in our coasts and rivers for at least 15 more years. In the last two years alone, water companies in England dumped raw sewage 775,568 times over 5,768,679 hours. The new regulations would permit dumping to continue for 15 more years.
Following the successful roll out of home food waste and battery recycling, the latest big recycling initiative by the Lib Dem-led Council is mixed plastic.
For years councils have been forced to sell off council houses and flats. It has been brilliant for the families that bought them, but the Conservative Government would not allow councils to replace the houses and flats sold off. Portsmouth sold off over 16,000, making it much more challenging to home homeless families. But action by the Lib Dem-led City Council is seeing a rebirth in the building and acquiring of council houses.
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.
