Training ground to Gosport, which will mean new sports facilities for local people and schoolchildren at
NO COST to local taxpayers.

Tory Councillor reported to Standards Board
Angry residents have reported the Conservative
councillor for Bridgemary North to the Standards
Board for failing to reply to letters, emails and
phone calls or say where he lives. Tory
Councillor Keith Edwards is believed to be living
on a boat somewhere in Portsmouth Harbour but
Council publications give his home address as the
Conservative Party office in Stoke Road.
Bridgemary Lib Dems say Mr. Edwards should
come clean about where he really resides and
start doing the job he was elected to do or resign.
