The South West subnational Board meets on a quarterly cycle and is regularly attended by around 20 Councils*, Government Departments / Agencies** and partners, including LEP Chief Executives and the Institute of Civil Engineers. The agenda is driven by the members and agenda items typically fall into 4 categories:
- ‘Devolution with a Purpose’ – keeping up with regional ‘deals’ and national policy thinking;
- Partner Challenge – getting a third party view on the effectiveness of Council place shaping;
- Good Practice shorts – sharing and learning; and,
- Emergent Policy / practice issues – that may need to be raised nationally through ADEPT.
