Portsmouth 2000 is an alternative site. With the backing of the Millennium Commission, five years of work and £86m of investment will have created a world class attraction and accelerated the economic regeneration of both Portsmouth and Gosport.

Gosport Borough Council is tackling these opportunities with energy and enthusiasm, rising to the challenge with a range of enhanced services and new initiatives.

Whether you're reading these pages as a resident, a visitor, a local business or a potential investor, we hope you will be inspired to find out more about Gosport, the Millennium Town.
