Multi-area agreement

A number of partners involved in the preparation of the Hampshire LAA have also worked together through the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) to prepare a voluntary Multi-Area Agreement (MAA) covering the urban south of Hampshire.

See: http://www.push.gov.uk/pdf/SHA.pdf

South Hampshire is a Government designated 'New Growth Point' and a 'Diamond for Investment and Growth" identified in the Regional Economic Strategy.  This MAA supports the priorities in the Hampshire LAA and specifically addresses the implications and pre-conditions for  appropriate growth by focusing on the enabling measures required from Government relating to skills, transport and infrastructure.  MAAs are one example of cross-boundary working which is important to achieving mutual objectives with wider partners.      

This site will be developed further to assist the LAA leads in communicating progress and delivery arrangements.
