Victorious Festival will bring 10s of thousands of people into the ward in late August, is this a welcome attraction or a burden for the residents? 5. There is a cost-of-living crisis at the moment, what can local Councils do to better support residents? 6. The work on the sea defences are essential to protect the island is enough being done to protect the aesthetic? 7. The ward is a parking nightmare, what needs to be done to properly fix this? 8. Southsea Common has had issues with recreational drugs, do you welcome the banning of Nitrous Oxide? 9. If you could change just one thing for the ward if you are successful what would it be?
