In the Levelling Up White Paper the Government committed that by 2030, every part of England that wants one will have a devolution deal with powers at or approaching the highest level of devolution and a simplified, long-term funding settlement.

We welcome the ambition demonstrated in the recent Pan-Hampshire Deal Prospectus and we look forward to working with local councils across Hampshire and the Solent.
