Since its inception 16 years ago, the success of our strategic partnership has expanded to include new members and a wider geographical area. At the governing Joint Committee meeting on 4 June, our members agreed that the partnership now represents areas outside of South Hampshire’s urban centres – in particular the New Forest.
So that the partnership’s name better reflects who and what it represents, the decision was taken to remove ‘urban’ from its’ title to become ‘Partnership for South Hampshire’.
The strategic aims of our partnership, facilitating economic growth and development together across local authority boundaries, continue to remain the same.
