West Midlands leaders have launched a new "blueprint" for the region to tell Government what needs to happen to make "levelling up" a reality - with a focus on high growth sectors and on achieving net zero.
The ‘Levelling Up Growth Prospectus’ was launched by the West Midlands Combined Authority at the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham.
The report suggests the region needs more powers and more flexibility over funding and investment to support a "green industrial revolution", attract private investment and to encourage the building of more homes.
