The annual Big Portsmouth Survey has launched, inviting residents to share their views on the issues that matter most to them and their communities.
A key focus of this year's survey is the council's budget consultation, which asks how Portsmouth City Council should prioritise spending and resources. The survey also covers a range of local issues, including cost of living, transport, community life, culture and the local environment.
Councillor Steve Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council, said: "Your views are so important to how we run things here in Portsmouth, you can help us to better understand local needs and priorities, and shape future services across the city.
"We know people care deeply about their local services and, with increasing pressures on council finances, it's more important than ever that we understand residents' priorities. The Big Portsmouth Survey gives everyone the opportunity to tell us what matters most to them, where they think we should focus our resources, and how we can best support our communities.
"The survey is available in a variety of formats, and I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to tell us what you think."
The survey is part of the Council's ongoing commitment to listening to residents and making sure services reflect the needs of local communities. Responses will help inform future decisions and priorities across the city, helping the council direct resources where they matter most.
