Our Network

The Government Office (GO) Network was created in 1994 to improve the way central Government prepares and delivers its policies and programmes, and to more effectively align delivery of national, regional and local priorities.

The Network has become the primary means by which a wide range of government policies are delivered in the English regions. Individual GOs use their policies, programmes and influence to enable communities in their regions to become better places in which to live.

Government Offices are located in Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, Cambridge, Guildford, Bristol and London. There are also several sub-regional offices dedicated to delivering particular programmes. Government Office Network Centre and Services works with all regional offices to help implement activites across the country.
