About the Partnership
The West of England is a prosperous area with an excellent quality of life and a growing national and international profile. However, in the current economic situation it faces increasing pressure on its infrastructure.
The West of England Partnership was formed to respond to these opportunities and challenges. It consists of four unitary authorities: Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire; and a range of social, economic and environmental partners.
The Partnership is driving forward action to sustain prosperity and quality of life and to enhance the confidence of public and private investors. Particular attention is being given to transport, planning, waste, appropriate housing supply, economic competitiveness, inward investment and skills.
