UKSPF and Birmingham

Logos for Birmingham City Council, UK Government, Levelling Up, and West Midlands Combined Authority.

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:
