A consultation drive has been launched on how £37m EU funds should be spent in the Solent area.

The money from the EU Structural and Investment Fund is designed to drive growth in the region between 2014 and 2020.

Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has now launched a survey on opinions on where the investment should go. It can be found at survey.exeter.ac.uk/fundingsolent.

LEP chairman Doug Morrison said: “The feedback we received is exactly what we need to deliver a targeted programme of investment that tackles the Solent’s issues.”
