Welcome to Southampton's online press office. News and information are key to local people being able to access the full range of council services, so we hope our media colleagues will find these pages a useful guide to what's happening in the city.
The Media Team is available to assist the media with their enquiries during normal office hours. The general enquiry number is 023 8083 2000.
