Dudley

I will lead The Great West Midlands Clean Up campaign, to clean up the region ahead of the Commonwealth Games in 2022.

After joining a community clean up of the Lapal Canal in Weoley Castle in Birmingham, where local volunteers were removing rubbish and taking it to the tip.

I have pledged that I will double transport spending if I am is re-elected in May. 

Since becoming Mayor, helping our regions homeless was one of my top priorities. I'm pleased that progress is continuing to be made on this issue so that the most vulnerable people in our region can access support.

West Midlands Mayor Andy Street is challenging the creative minds leading a West Midlands revolution in TV and film to win an Oscar or a Bafta for the region within five years.

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.

Stourbridge, Dudley, Halesowen and the surrounding areas are set to experience a transport revolution, thanks to a huge investment.

Metro expansion works in the area are due to commence in earnest this month, with construction on Castle Hill.

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.

I will continue to win Government funding to deliver my ‘brownfield first’ policy across the Black Country – to protect key parts of the Green Belt, especially around the Halesowen, Stourbridge and Sedgley areas.

It's been over a year since I unveiled my ambitious Transport Plan, which depicted how our towns and cities will need to be linked in the coming decades, and we've already made huge progress.
