Anglesey is a compact urban ward within the borough of Gosport in Hampshire, sitting on the south coast of England close to Portsmouth Harbour. It covers parts of the town centre and nearby residential streets, with a mix of local shops, community facilities and short walks to the waterfront and ferry links across to Portsmouth.
The ward’s character reflects Gosport’s maritime and naval connections, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces alongside more recent housing and pockets of social housing; this gives a broadly mixed community profile. Local regeneration and community projects have aimed to support shops, schools and services so the area functions as both a local hub for residents and a base for commuters working in the wider Portsmouth conurbation.
