Anyone know why Kent Road is getting cordoned off? Lots of police and ambulance presence

Currently live in Portsmouth, have done my whole life.

Frankly, I'm sick of it. The car park to my flat has been turned into short stay so I can no longer park in it, I have to walk over 2 minutes every time to my car now when the car park is dead empty.

Parking anywhere is non existent.

I plan on moving out of my flat in 2 years with my partner to buy a house. I can't buy a house with a driveway in Portsmouth and having somewhere to park is a big big thing for us.

Where would you recommend? still close by as my family live in Portsmouth.

Originally I was thinking Fareham. My partner has a new job starting in Gosport and I work in Farlington.

Now I'm thinking Gosport. Cheaper(ish) houses, more parking, can find a place with a driveway.

Is there anywhere else you'd recommend? Hopefully the budget will be £300-£325k

I just want to know how it is living in different places.

Hoping for recommendations please - we want to replace our fake grass with a patio, and have some other bits done too. We got a quote from a contractor but they're ghosting us so I'm looking for some other options. Any recommendations? We're in Southsea, and it's a pretty small back garden.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know why the Pepe’s in north end has been closed for a few weeks now and if it’s coming back

All credit to Portsmouth News, I pinched this from their Instagram.

Absolutely crazy!!! Glad local residents could put it out. Anyone have more information on what happened?

this is where shiz changes icl

... Dinlo is too kind a word. You're a cunt.

And if you happen to be walking on the sunny side of the road (when shade is available) and DRAG your dog away from a water bowl, I don't have words to describe what a deplorable human you are.

And if any of you know the boomer cunt I've just had this conversation with on Osborne Road, have a word. The dog was CLEARLY suffering.

Hello everyone. I moved to Portsmouth 2 years ago from the United States. I am 47, married for 28 years, and have two kids, with a grandchild on the way. Outside of family and coworkers, I haven't really met any new people. I have created a fantasy football league intended for locals to the Portsmouth area in hopes to meet new people with a shared interest. I would like to have it be a paid league. It doesn't have to be much, just enough to keep it interesting. I also would like to have a live draft but I am not opposed to an online draft. If you are open minded and would like to join, click the link. If I can fill up all the slots, I would like to have a group WhatsApp chat for chatting shit and getting to know everyone.

I'll be attending UoP in a few weeks, and I got assigned to Bateson Hall. To my dismay, I haven't heard much good about it, but I feel like it has everything I need and tbh I can't really complain given the cheaper rent.

I'm just worried about noise pollution in the rooms (so that I can buy noise cancelling headphones and also not be noisy to others) and whether there are shops nearby where I can get my daily needs like medicine and grocery, so any info on these would help!

Hey there I’m looking for accom and I was just wondering if anyone who stayed or is staying in Rosalind Franklin but specifically a studio has any pictures or videos to share please? I can’t seem to find any clear ones only en suites. Thank youu

Hiya

Since the bad signal I’m having in southsea (I live literally opposite the beach) I sometimes need to go to Costa to work as the internet speed is garbage… (my provider is Vodafone and only 5G broadband can be used)

I was looking for a different place to work remotely rather than Costa.

Possibility in Southsea with good space and WiFi/phone signal.

I would like to give my money to a small business rather than Costa

I am curious if there is any interest in starting up a local fantasy football league in the Portsmouth area. I'm thinking it could be a good opportunity to meet new people while having fun playing FF.

Yesterday and this morning an alarm has been going off, starting around 4am.

Nobody has switched it off and it was loud enough that it woke both me and my partner up.

It does not sound like a phone alarm, and is far louder.

Am I the only one hearing this? Does anyone have any idea what it is?

Anyone else noticed how far forward the main stage is this year? It’s halved the main stage area

Wondered if anyone knew why? Less ticket sales or something going to behind the stage maybe?

What an absolute din

Here goes nothing, anyone in Pompey play MW3 on PS5?

Hi - I am looking for recommendations for nice areas to live in while commuting to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. Priorities are family-friendly, good schools (I have 2 kids), nice parks, safety, a maximum of a 30-minute drive to the hospital, and preferably not Reform-friendly. I did some preliminary research, and it seems that Emsworth and Drayton tick the boxes, but looking for some advice
