Hull’s year as City of Culture in 2017 saw nearly 800 new jobs created in the city’s visitor econony and £300 million generated in tourism value as over 6 million visitors came to the city.
Being UK City of Culture would be a brilliant boost for Portsmouth’s economy and thriving cultural community.

Labour's attack on ordinary people like you and me are a choice. The reality is clear, you can't tax your way to growth.

Permanently lower business rates for hospitality and leisure premises could be a lifeline for a struggling sector (struggling more because of the jobs tax from the last budget)
If you're interested, the word culture is only mentioned once in the 152 page budget paper.

Cllr Kadir is a strong advocate for his community, for his ward, and for our city. He will continue to champion our city as Deputy Lord Mayor - standing up for our city even while George Madgwick refuses to.
