 We have launched a survey to find out the views of residents and businesses on a proposed car club scheme for Portsmouth.
Car clubs can save members money by giving them access to a shared low-emission vehicle when it is needed, without the expense of owning a car. They also reduce the number of cars on local roads.
Your input will help influence whether we introduce a car club scheme to the city.
Please complete the short survey by the 11 October.

 How should we prioritise public spending from April 2022?
Like all councils, Portsmouth is facing costs and increases in demand for care services that exceed the funding received from government and local taxpayers.
Once you take out all the things we have no choice about spending money on, we have a budget of £161m and we need to find £1m of savings in 2022/23. This means we have to make more difficult decisions about where to spend and where to save and we would like to know what you think.
The survey is open until 11.59pm on Wednesday 20 October 2021.
