In this video, we explore the process of devolution in Hampshire, examining the potential benefits and challenges of shifting to a combined authority. How can this devolution process empower Hampshire with more local powers to improve decision-making, regional development, and public services? We will also address the key issues Hampshire might face, including regional inequality, and suggest ways these problems can be resolved. Join us as we discuss how devolution could transform Hampshire's future and give local leaders more control over important areas like economic growth, infrastructure, and public policy. We talk about some exciting things that could happen in the future if we merge into a Combined Authority (such as Enfranchised bus services.
