Welcome to the website for the Government Office for the South West

Government Office for the South West (GOSW) aims to make the South West a better place to live and work, now and in the future.

We work to achieve sustainable growth and to develop safe and prosperous communities that meet the diverse needs of everyone who lives and works here.

To achieve this we put Government policy into practice at local level, implementing key programmes and initiatives in partnership with regional and local organisations and provide feedback to central Government that helps inform future policy.
