Wessex not accepted into Devolution Priority Programme
Wessex has not been accepted onto the Government’s Devolution Priority Programme.
Despite reservations that a Mayoral Strategic Authority was the best solution for us we worked collaboratively with ministers throughout this process. Therefore, the decision not to include Wessex within the Devolution Priority Programme is disappointing.
Despite Government’s decision, we remain committed to partnership working across the four councils to ensure the best outcomes for residents, businesses and visitors across Wessex.
