We Did It: Victory for Our Voice at Canoe Lake and Southsea Seafront


We Did It : Victory for Our Voice at Canoe Lake and Southsea Seafront
Because over 7,500 of you stood together and signed the Protect Our Parks petition, Portsmouth City Council has officially launched a public consultation regarding public BBQs and amplified music across our seafront spaces, including Canoe Lake, Southsea Common, and Castle Field.
While the council may present this survey as their own independent initiative, we know the truth: this moment happened because thousands of local residents demanded to be heard. Our collective action created the momentum that made this consultation impossible to ignore.
Why Your Action Is Needed Right Now
Portsmouth City Council does not formally accept Change.org petitions under their standard rules, citing a lack of verification details for individual signees. To make sure our movement cannot be dismissed on technical grounds, every single supporter needs to translate their signature into official council data.
