Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Wendy Morton (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 30 October 2017 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Mayors: Economic Growth
- Question
-
The Government’s devolution to city region Mayors has been a real success in the west midlands. Last month, Andy Street announced £2.1 million for the region’s creative and technology industries. Does my hon. Friend agree that devolution can bring only prosperity, jobs and a bright future to the people of my constituency and across Walsall?
- Answer
-
I agree with my hon. Friend that Andy Street is a prime example of how the leadership and accountability of metro Mayors drive forward our country’s
economy. Only this month, he approved a bike-sharing scheme in the west midlands. Move over, Boris bikes; it is time for Street cycles.
