Maggie Morgan was first elected to represent Grange in 2012 and since then has worked extremely hard for the residents of Grange and Gosport. Maggie is currently serving as a member on the Community and Environment board, a member of the Allotment committee as well as being an active member of the Rowner Community Trust (RCT), and the current Youth Champion for Gosport.
Maggie holds regular surgeries or meet & greet events with Grange’s other ward Councillor, Tony Jessop, in Grange Lane, Tescos. This is a vital avenue to engage with the general public, get our faces known to the community, and find out firsthand what are the issues that Grange residents are facing.
In the Grange Ward Maggie has ensured the concerns of the residents are supported and actioned. Her determination to ensure residents are supported on issues such as boundary queries, housing issues, ensuring works are carried out by property and building companies, lighting, littering and vandalism (ASB), overgrown hedges/plants, security and theft issues, and developing projects, to name a few.
Maggie Morgan is Gosport’s Youth Champion. She has made sure young people are involved with their needs and has been successful in highlighting and establishing recreation developments such as the skatepark at the Blue Park in Bridgemary, the BMX pump track and other Skate park needs and improvements. She has also supported grants for developing youth and community work within Gosport but especially within Grange through avenues like Rowner Community Trust.
Maggie Morgan fully supports the Conservatives and is committed to supporting the ethos of the party has people's wellbeing at its heart and promotes Gosport as a great place to live and work and grow up in. There have been some major successes over the years as Councillor such as the procurement of Grants to upgrade the ferry pontoon and bus station, updating the leisure centre, Eclipse bus service, new hotel, upgrade and development of Daedalus enterprise zone, and Alver Valley Garden Centre Splash parks and the Brockhurst Gate development.
Investment has been achieved with many national and international companies coming to Gosport, bringing with them jobs and boosting the local economy.
Being a densely urbanised area it is important to keep our green and open spaces. Maggie has been integral in ensuring the upkeep of Grange is continually maintained by implementing Wilding areas, maintaining bramble hedges and trees are kept in control, and getting sapling removal from unwanted seed regrowth along banks near roads ie Grange Lane.
Two years ago, you gave Maggie Morgan your support to continue to improve the quality of life of Grange residents. Working together, we can make Gosport and Grange a better place to live, this is my heartfelt desire all the time you continue to support me as a Councillor.
