Plymouth is home to the Royal Navy’s Devonport base and dockyard and at the heart of the Government’s plans to enhance Britain’s nuclear submarine programme. The council’s chief executive, Tracey Lee, tells Paul Marinko how the authority has played a pivotal role in ensuring regeneration touches every corner of the city.
