The Road to 2028

Leadership Lunch at The Jetty, in partnership with SCAPE

The South Coast is entering one of the biggest periods of change in its history.

Devolution, local government reorganisation, housing delivery, infrastructure investment and economic growth will redefine how our region is governed, funded and planned.

The challenge isn’t simply delivering growth.

It’s bringing together the right people to make it happen.

South Coast CPS, in partnership with SCAPE – a leading public sector procurement authority – invites you to an exclusive leadership lunch at The Jetty on 24th September 2026, bringing together senior decision-makers from across the public and private sectors to discuss the future of Hampshire and the Solent.

This year’s panel discussion, The Road to 2028, will explore the leadership, partnerships and investment needed to deliver the homes, infrastructure and economic growth our region needs. It will draw on insights from SCAPE’s Delivering Through Change research to examine the challenges and opportunities facing public sector delivery in the years ahead.

Leadership Panel Discussion

Hosted by Vanessa Good, Business Development Manager at SCAPE, the panel includes:

▪ Caroline Compton-James, Deputy Chief Executive, SCAPE
▪ Meg Carter, Executive Director for Sustainable Communities, Bath and North East Somerset Council
▪ Louise Sunderland, European Head of Cities and Places and London Region Director, Mace
