There is a second Assembly looking at South Yorkshire – Assembly North. Together the Assemblies are an important experiment in a new way of doing democracy – asking citizens themselves to discuss and decide on how we should be governed.

A message from Royston Smith MP
The ‘Democracy Matters’ project provides a great opportunity for citizens to get involved in the political process. We need to constantly find new ways of engaging people in the big political questions that affect their lives.
Assembly South is a great way of doing that. It provides the opportunity for people to express their views, and to think about how to make their area a better place. That is why I welcome this important initiative to Southampton. This has all the more relevance with the growing trend towards devolution throughout the country.
So thank you to everybody for taking part. This presents a real opportunity for the citizens of Southampton and further afield to discuss the future of how our region is governed. It has an enormous potential to shape things to come.
