✅Capping bus fares at £2.
✅Cutting business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues.
✅Cutting taxes on electricity bills.
✅Giving unlimited 24/7 bus travel to disabled people.
✅Devolving more power and decision making to mayors.
✅Extending half price rail fares to students aged between 16-18.
✅Bringing West Midlands bus services into public ownership.
✅Reviving our high streets, with a crack down on unwanted v**e and betting shops.
✅Ending rip-off discounts and subscription traps.
✅Opening up to 159 new mental health support centres.
✅Going after the criminal gangs running illegal waste sites.
