Southampton City Council | Waste, Roads and Transport
Overview
Southampton is a thriving coastal city with big ambition. We are home to a world class port, a strong marine and maritime sector, and a growing city centre economy. We work with residents, businesses and partners to keep Southampton moving, improving and open to opportunity.
We deliver essential local services and help shape the city’s future. That means supporting people day to day, while planning for long term growth, greener travel and healthier neighbourhoods.
What we do
- Support residents: Help with housing, benefits, adult and children’s services, community safety, and advice when people need it most.
- Deliver great places: Plan and manage development, protect our heritage, and improve streets, parks and public spaces.
- Grow the local economy: Back investment and jobs, including the Port, the marine economy, and major regeneration projects.
- Invest in skills: Work with schools, colleges and partners to support learning, training and routes into work.
- Build the right homes: Enable new homes across the city, including growth in the city centre and key regeneration areas.
- Improve neighbourhoods: Regenerate council housing estates to raise standards and strengthen local communities.
- Keep Southampton moving: Support safer, cleaner travel by encouraging walking, cycling and public transport, while keeping sensible access for cars.
- Protect green space and nature: Care for our parks, waterfront access and links, including the Central Parks and Southampton Common.
- Tackle climate and air quality: Cut pollution, improve air quality, and plan for climate resilience.
- Boost biodiversity: Protect and enhance local wildlife, habitats and ecology across the city.
Southampton is changing and we are focused on making sure that change benefits residents, supports business, and protects what makes the city special.
