Regional Planning
Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH)
The Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) is a
voluntary working partnership of eleven local authorities
stretching from the New Forest to East Hampshire. They have
joined together in a unique effort to map out the future of the
region for the next twenty years.
South Hampshire's sub-regional strategy will consider
cross-boundary issues and will focus on the economy and economic
growth in the region, as well as housing, transport and the
environment. It will also examine ways of building on the strengths
of the area and facilitating the regeneration of Southampton,
Portsmouth and the other urban areas.
GOSE
The Government Office for the South East works with
organisations across the South East to deliver the Government’s
policies and programmes in the region.
GOSE aims to
release the potential of the South East – so that it is the most
prosperous region of the country, delivering a high quality of life
and environment for everyone. As the representative of central
government in the South East region their role is to promote better
and more effective integration of Government policies and
programmes at a regional and local level.
They set out to help increase prosperity in the South East in a
more geographically sensitive way than is often possible at a
national level. They do this by supporting regional policies,
helping to influence policy development among the departments they
represent, and by working in partnership with local organisations
including Local Authorities, Crime and Disorder Reduction
Partnerships and Local Strategic Partnerships. They aim to ensure
that Government policy in the region works.
GOSE is led by a
Regional Director, who is supported by eight Directors.
Directors each have responsibility for a geographical area within
the region as well as for a specific area of Government policy such
as housing, planning or social inclusion.
