MAKE GOSPORT GREAT AGAIN A great Gosport needs a great council

A great council fixes the streets

The STEER Reporting Portal

Report it. Track it. Fix it.

THE PROBLEM

Too many residents are frustrated by slow responses to broken pavements, fly-tipping, graffiti and neglected street areas.

Reporting is unclear, time-consuming, and too often nothing happens. The current system wastes officer time on duplicate contacts.

LABOUR’S VISION

Labour will introduce the STEER Portal — a smart digital reporting system accessible on any phone, tablet or computer.

Pin the location, upload a photo, receive live updates. Phone reporting stays for those who need it.

WHAT LABOUR WILL FIGHT FOR

Introduce the STEER online reporting portal accessible on any device
Pin exact locations and upload photos for faster, targeted response
Track your report from submission to resolution Automated workflows so reports go to the right team first time
Phone reporting stays available for those who need it
Repeated problems identified through data for proactive maintenance
Ward-level dashboard published monthly for public accountability

£ Cost & Funding:

Setup: £30,000–£60,000 | Annual: £15,000–£25,000. Offset by reduced admin, fewer repeat contacts, and smarter scheduling. Comparable councils report 25–50% faster resolution.

Fiscal Responsibility:

The Borough Treasurer calls for ‘improvements in productivity and modern technology.’ This is exactly that. Estimated payback under two years through reduced officer time.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR GOSPORT

Cleaner streets, faster fixes, and a council that proves it’s responding — not just recording.
