Key messages
At its meeting on 14 October 2016, the Heart of the South
West partnership agreed to continue working together and to continue to push
for a devolution deal. However, we are now certain that we will not be
successful in achieving an Autumn Statement deal from the Government and our focus
has turned to a primary goal of developing and agreeing a Productivity Plan for
our area. The Productivity Plan development includes:
-
Local workshops and further engagement to build
and test the evidence base and enable wide involvement and ownership.
-
Taking forward the establishment of a Joint
Committee to drive the Productivity Plan and seize other opportunities.
A group has also been set up to look at the opportunities
and risks presented by Brexit as a way to help prepare our area for the future
and influence Government.
