Some public consultations were held by the Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership in North Portsea earlier this year, to seek the public's views on the future of coastal defence options for North Portsea Island.

Join Action Portsmouth on Tuesday
1 July at 1pm at the Queens Hotel, Southsea. Action Portsmouth is helping to bring a group of people together to look at applying to the Big Lottery Reaching Communities Fund to help tackle some of the issues that people with Autism face. The Reaching Communities programme has four outcomes. The word outcome is used to describe the key changes or differences the funding will make. Every project must help achieve one or more of these outcomes: |
Hi there,
I am a current MSc
Disasters, Adaption and Development student at the University of King's College
London and previously completed a BSc in Environmental Sciences at the
University of Southampton.
For my MSc research project,
I intend to investigate the difference between perceived, legal and enacted
responsibilities for risk management from flood hazard in Portsmouth and I
wonder if you would be willing to take part in this exciting research!
By conducting semi-structured interviews, I am inviting key stakeholders in Portsmouth in
order to compare the perceptions of flood risk and the appropriate management
of the hazard. I need to identify groups of people who are
already interested in flooding in Portsmouth, who will have a
view of their own perceived risk, and who has responsibility for
managing flood risk (the individual, state, insurers etc).
By carrying out this research,
I hope to understand
the perceptions of flood risk from those shaping/involved in the flood risk management
and those that are experiencing it/residents of Portsmouth. How do the flood
policies compare to local experiences of risk amongst various stakeholders in
the coastal city of Portsmouth?
If you are interested taking part in my research regarding
flood risk responsibility in Portsmouth, it would involve an interview that
would last no longer than an hour of your time. Although there are no direct benefits to taking part, the
information I get from the study will help to understand and potentially
influence current and future policy on flood risk management in Portsmouth! The perceptions and expectations for flood
risk management and protection are critical in mediating the impacts and
promoting longer-term adaptation. Understanding and making rights and
responsibilities explicit may smooth pathways to effective and legitimate
management and adaptation.
I would be delighted
if you could take part!
If you are
interested, please do get in touch!
Best regards,
Stephanie Rademaker
