Post date 30/10/2026

Crime and anti-social behaviour, bus services, road maintenance and provision for young people were among the issues raised by Lordshill residents at the latest Community Conversation with Satvir Kaur MP.

Part of her ‘Big Southampton Test Community Conversation’ series, the event brought neighbours together to discuss the issues affecting their area and explore possible solutions, with residents setting the agenda.

Community safety was a particular concern, with attendees sharing accounts of retail crime, motorbike misuse and the use of catapults locally. Residents also raised concerns about the police response and the impact of persistent anti-social behaviour on everyday life.

Meeting with Police and Crime Commissioner following Inner Avenue calls for action

Post date 23/10/2026

Satvir Kaur MP has met with Donna Jones, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Commissioner, to discuss residents’ concerns about drug-related crime and antisocial behaviour in Inner Avenue and the London Road area.

The meeting on Friday followed an invitation from the MP, who has been working with residents, police, Southampton City Council and local organisations to address these issues. A planned walkabout was changed to a sit-down meeting due to the yellow weather warning.

The Southampton Test MP organised a residents’ meeting in July after receiving a petition signed by more than 50 local people calling for urgent action. The meeting brought residents together with neighbourhood police, ward councillors, council officers and the YMCA to discuss concerns and agree next steps.

Following that meeting, the MP wrote to the Commissioner asking her to review local policing resources and help make reporting incidents to the police and council simpler and more joined up.

Satvir Kaur MP has met with Southampton neighbourhood police officers, ahead of a city centre walkabout with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Commissioner later this week. At the meeting, the MP and the neighbourhood policing team discussed police reform and how officers can be supported to spend more time working in their communities.

The meeting was an opportunity for the MP to hear directly from local officers about their work and discuss how reform can help strengthen neighbourhood policing.

Satvir welcomed the strong partnership working across Southampton, recognising the importance of police, the council, local organisations and residents working together to resolve community concerns and keep people safe.

Post date 15/09/2026

Road closures, rail works, water quality and community cohesion were among the topics discussed at a fully booked coffee morning with Satvir Kaur MP in St Denys on Saturday.

In another of the MP’s ‘Big Southampton Test Community Conversation’ events, local residents met with Satvir Kaur, Councillor John Savage, volunteers and neighbours for an ‘offline’ discussion about the issues of the day and to consider possible solutions.

All households in the St Denys area received an invitation in the post, and over 50 residents attended the event, held at St Denys Church Centre.

With the temporary closure of Priory Road beginning just the day before – to allow for repairs to the one-hundred-year-old rail underbridge there – attendees spoke about the impact it would have on them. Repair works are scheduled to continue for three months in total, finishing on Christmas Eve, and mitigation measures have been put in place to manage traffic and allow for access during the closure period.

Bringing together Southern Water and Shirley businesses affected by works

Post author By Satvir
Post date 12/08/2026

Southampton Test MP Satvir Kaur last night brought together Southern Water and businesses from Shirley High Street to discuss the impact months of major sewer repair works have had on trading.

The meeting, hosted by Satvir Kaur MP at St Boniface Church Hall on Tuesday evening, saw businesses raise questions directly with senior staff from Southern Water and contractor Cappagh Browne.

Representatives from a total of 21 local businesses attended, including The Temple Bar, Make it Magic and The Salisbury Arms.

Southern Water began emergency repair works on Shirley High Street in April after a sewer collapsed, with the works causing disruption to access and traffic in the area, and local businesses reporting substantial impacts on trade and takings during the months-long duration. The works are now complete, and the section of the High Street affected was fully reopened to traffic last week.
