About Community Action Portsmouth
Portsmouth residents, meeting in person, deciding together what to change and who to ask.

We're a community assembly group. Anyone who lives in Portsmouth can come along, raise what's wrong on their street and help decide what we push for. Our first assembly was at Portsmouth Central Library on 12 November 2026.
We're supported by Our House, a national democracy-reform organisation. About 100 assemblies like ours are running across the UK, and the demands they agree feed into a new national People's Charter for decision-makers. It's named after the Chartists' People's Charter of 1838.
Read what community organising can do, with examples of it working and how local groups and CAP fit together.
What this website does
- Shows each of Portsmouth's 14 wards, who represents it and what the official figures say.
- Lets residents vote on the issues they most want sorted, anonymously.
- Lets residents raise issues in their own area, which we add to their ward's vote.
- Keeps people who ask for it up to date by email.
Where the figures come from
Every figure on this site is provided by Pompey Counts, which gathers official statistics for Portsmouth and links each one to its source. We don't produce figures of our own.
