Solent Waterfront Strategy

You can take a local marine business to the water...... but, can you really?
Even with the considerable greater length of coastline to be had from its location on and around an island, Portsmouth currently offers comparitively little in the way of direct access to the sea for the very many marine businesses located in the city.
Whilst not every such firm will be wanting to actually launch ships and boats into the water as such there will be many that would benefit greatly from having better access to vessels both in and just out of the water and yet others that could just operate more effciently if they could be located actually by the water's edge.
Martin Hendry of Adams Hendry Consultants will be addressing this issue at next Wednesday evening's meeting of The Portsmouth Society when he will speak about the study they are undertaking to support development of the strategy which will help marine businesses gain greater access to waterfront facilities.
The meeting on Wednesday next 5th December will, however, be firmly landlocked at The John Pounds Centre, Aylward Street off Queen Street and starts at 7.30pm. Members of the public are most welcome as ever to sample the sense of local involvement which is the essence of The Portsmouth Society and admission is free and complimentary refreshments will be available at the end of the evening.
No one attending on this occasion is in any way likely to get wet, unless of course it rains!
