Councillor Charlotte Gerada, leader of the Portsmouth Labour group, has criticised some members of Portsmouth City Council for undermining efforts to address street cleanliness in the city during a traffic, environment and community safety (TECS) panel.

And, as a mum walking the streets every day with a pram and dog, I see these issues too and report them almost daily. That’s why, as a member of TECS, I’ve pushed for a review of street cleanliness issues.
