Wessex Constitutional Convention
|
|
The Wessex Constitutional Convention is an all party pressure group with the following stated aims:
- To achieve the broadest consensus on the form of self-government appropriate for Wessex.
- To campaign for the implementation of that consensus at the earliest possible opportunity.
- To oppose the continuing partition of Wessex between the 'South-West' and 'South-East' government zones.
- To promote as Wessex the area comprising the eight traditional counties of Berkshire, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire, subject to addition or subtraction according to popular wish.
It actively participates in the continuing commission on the South, which was set up by the political think-tank "Devolve!" and is chaired by former regions minister Dr. Alan Whitehead, MP.
