This weekend, a group of residents from across the West Midlands came together for the first meeting of the WMCA's Residents’ Assembly.

Made up of people from different ages, backgrounds and communities across the region, the Assembly is designed to give residents a role in shaping the future of the West Midlands. Their work starts with the regions Spatial Development Strategy (SDS).

Throughout the day, residents explored key issues including housing, planning and the future of the green belt, hearing from a range of speakers and experts who shared different perspectives on the opportunities and challenges facing the region.

Residents took part in group discussions focused on the choices and trade-offs facing the region, sharing personal experiences and perspectives that will help shape future recommendations.

These conversations are an important part of making sure future regional plans are informed by the real experiences and priorities of the people who live here.

Thank you to everyone who took part, we look forward to working the members of the residents assembly over the coming months 👏
