LIBERAL Democrats have vowed to ramp up their plans to make Portsmouth a ‘greener city’ after they fended off a vote of no confidence to retain control of the council.

The party clashed with Portsmouth Conservatives today during a power struggle after last week’s local election left no one party with enough seats to rule the city council unchallenged.

The Tory party came away from the election with 16 seats, while the Liberal Democrats saw their numbers reduce to 15. But neither were able to bag the 22 needed to claim majority control.
