As always, this is heavily inspired by some of my favourite artists. The vocal sounded so good, I had to make the song work around it.

The questions we asked:
	1. What are the key issues facing this ward?
	2. What would you see the council do to help local shopping areas survive and thrive?
	3. With many leisure and entertainment attractions bringing large numbers of visitors to the ward. How to fix the challenges and make the best of the opportunities this presents?
	4. Name the one service or facility residents don't have access to that you would see provided?
	5. Inflation in food, energy bills & even council tax typify the cost of living crisis. With many families struggling, what would you see the council do to help?
	6. Parking is a problem here as in most parts of the city. How can we solve parking & end rat-run culture without pitting car users against those choosing active travel?
	7. Anti social behaviour, burglary & theft is blighting the lives of residents. What’s your solution? 
	8. If successful, what would be the one thing you’d want to see implemented to improve life for residents of the ward?

Our third episode sees Ian and Simon welcome three guests, Dave Ashmore (Libdems), Cal Corkery (Labour), and Scott Payter-Harris (Conservative), all elected to Portsmouth City Council on May 2nd. Our guests chose four questions at random from the fourteen questions devilishly folded into our Pompey Politics Podcast Pot of Pondering.

PPP 03 Winners and Grinners Special

Ian & Simon discuss the results of the European Parliament elections, how they shaped up in our region (South East) and nationally, what they mean for Brexit and what they mean for the Conservative Party Leadership contest. 

We apologise for the background sound of some kid playing outside. You’re not imagining it.

PPP05 Everyone’s A Winner

Mr Kevin Thomas has not had a single visitor for more than ten years. He stays in his room at an old peoples home, cutting a lonely and bad tempered figure.  When a Nurse comes to see him, the residents and staff at the Home are amazed. This is a surprise, but of course Mr Thomas does not want to receive any visitors. Just what is his secret? And what news does the Nurse bring with her?

Written and Produced by Simon Sansbury. Starring Tom Rawlings as Green, with Iain Hamer, Lorinda Laing, Jenny Hamer and Emily Phillips. Beacon Productions (c) 2018.
