Paulsgrove Hustings 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?

Don't forget you'll need ID to vote in person in May. Details here: https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate
