UKSPF and Birmingham
The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) will work closely on the UKSPF programme with Birmingham City Council and other Metropolitan Local Authorities in the West Midlands.
Through a “double devolution” arrangement, Birmingham City Council (BCC) will deliver £25million directly. This will mean much more local control, and use of local knowledge to shape local delivery.
The budgets and project activity are set out for the 3 investment priorities as follows:
