Mayor of the West Midlands, Richard Parker, has announced the four priorities he’ll deliver for everyone across the region.
The four priority areas are:
Investing in jobs, skills, training and apprenticeships and reducing youth unemployment and ensuring everyone has a job that pays well.
Building social and affordable homes and creating vibrant communities so that everyone will have a place to call home.
Helping businesses grow, supporting innovation and creativity and making sure everyone benefits and the environment is protected.
Connecting communities and making travel easier, safer and more affordable for everyone.
We will be setting up four new 'taskforces' to ensure each of the areas is driven by specialist input to ensure delivery. We'll have more details for you soon.
