The Solent Metropolitan is/will be:
- a reference to each citizen who lives in the Solent region
- a media outlet by and for those citizens: articles, data, positive but thought provoking opinion
- an events guide where organisers can login and publish their events in: arts, science, technology, business, infrastructure
- Not a duplication of already great media outlets. Open collaboration.
- a campaign for Solent to become a county, Greater Solent with a local government authority
- a campaign for super grand-scale public transport infrastructure: metro, more stations
- a promotion of Solent, a proper noun, that can be internationally recognised without ambiguity
- a reference to all the villages, towns and cities adjacent to the Solent stretch of water and their local authorities
- cohesion between the two cities Portsmouth and Southampton, grown-up mutual championing and regard; success happens when you're in good company
- Apolitical - non-political.
- An independent, grass-roots project, not connected to any public sector organisation.
- Self-funded.
