More details from petition creator

This petition is an online version of the "Hands off our Base" petition being sponsored by the Portsmouth local newspaper "The News" and is intended to provide an opportunity for the wider community to express their support for the continuation of Portsmouth in a major role in support of the fleet.

The leaders and people of Portsmouth have always promoted a "three base" solution to the Navy's support needs and so it is hoped that this e-petition will enable citizens sympathetic to this balanced approach from the other dockyard communities of Devonport and Rosyth to express their support.

We are also keen to use this platform to enable the many sons, daughters and friends of the city and former Naval personnel, wherever in the world they now find themselves, to express their support for maintaining the fundamental link between Portsmouth and the Royal Navy.
