Welcome
Welcome to the West of England Partnership website.
The West of England is a prosperous area with an excellent quality of life and a growing national and international profile. However, rapid growth means that the sub-region faces increasing pressure on its infrastructure, and it is still the case that there are too many neighbourhoods which do not share in this prosperity.
The West of England Partnership was formed in response to these opportunities and challenges. It consists of four unitary authorities - Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES), Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire - and a range of social, economic and environmental partners.
This website tells you more about the partnership and helps you to keep up to date by downloading reports and papers of meetings and events. You can register to receive e-mail updates on specific subjects.
The Partnership is undergoing a number of structural changes at present and we hope to be able to reflect these in the layout of the website shortly. In the meantime papers will be available for new elements of the structure here.
