After gaining a Portsmouth Together Love Your Street award of £500, the garden has a new memorial bench for Vernon Bye, a long-standing councillor, as well as new picnic tables and flowerbeds.

Members of the local Royal Marine Cadet Corps will welcome Cllr Fuller before he opens the summer fair at 11am.

Entrance to the fair costs 20p with children’s games, face painting, tombolas, cake sales and more for families to enjoy.
