Supporting town centres and high streets

Coventry City Centre is benefitting from millions of pounds of investment that will help it bounce back after the pandemic.

Huge developments, new facilities and improvements to the layout of the centre will help generate jobs, attract further investment and provide new homes.

Creating a new Arden Forest is a ‘bold and dramatic’ idea that will help achieve the council’s ambition of planting 250,000 trees in the borough in the next decade.

I am backing plans by Solihull Council to build more than 1000 town centre homes – saying it will help ‘future proof’ the town centre while easing pressure on the cherished green belt.

Millions of pounds worth of investment will help Solihull bounce back after the pandemic.

This will deliver a massive transport and housing hub, which will bring quality jobs to Solihull – and help protect the green belt.

The future of Dudley looks bright thanks to £1 billion of investment – embracing a reborn town centre, better transport links, rejuvenated leisure facilities and pioneering technology that will bring jobs for local people.

A ‘fantastic team effort’ is behind a £10 million cash injection for Brierley Hill High Street.

Dudley Council is improving the lives of local people, by pouring millions of pounds into fixing up roads and creating first-class leisure facilities for the area.

I've worked with the council and local leaders to attract £ 1 billion of investment in the area.

Plans to transform Sutton Coldfield’s town centre could “lead the region” – and I have pledged to become a sponsor of the ambitious project.

I believe that the Coventry City of Culture will benefit the West Midlands in many ways.

Coventry was awarded the title in December 2017 after competing against eleven other cities. 

The redevelopment of the former MG Rover ‘West Works’ in Birmingham is set to happen after the Government announced £24 million to fund Brownfield regeneration across the West Midlands including Longbridge.
