You will no doubt be aware that the Government is conducting a review of its naval dockyards. What is decided could drastically alter Portsmouth for ever and in so very many ways we are probably not able to yet envisage.

If they decide to close the naval base then the ramifications of such a decision would reverberate for years and for generations to come.

The local newspaper for Portsmouth, The News, is collecting signatures for a petition to be presented to the Secretary of State for Defence to demand that the base should not be closed.

You can sign this petition in a number of ways :
  • Go to www.portsmouth.co.uk where you will be able to download a petition and post your messages of support.
  • Visit one of The News offices in Portsmouth, Havant, Fareham and Gosport
  • email your views to handsoff@thenews.co.uk
  • Write to Hands Off Our Base Campaign, The News Centre, Hilsea, Portsmouth PO2 9SX.
