Wolverhampton Partnership’s “Big City Tour†is visiting 14 areas across the city over the next few weeks to introduce the Wolverhampton Strategy, which aims to bring economic growth to the city and create jobs for local people.
Members of the Partnership want to hear views and ideas from residents, businesses and voluntary organisations about how the Strategy’s ambitions to bring “prosperity for all’ can become a reality.
Wolverhampton Partnership’s Chair Jon Crockett said: “…the focus is on jobs, but it’s also about ensuring residents have opportunities to gain new skills, live healthier lives and live in crime-free neighbourhoods. In short, people want a city they enjoy living and working in and that they can be proud of.â€
He added: “The city knows what it wants. We are working hard together to tackle the challenges we face as a city and to realise our ambitions within the resources available. We’re really keen that people come along to the tour when it is near to them to hear about the opportunities are being created and to share with us their thoughts about the strategy.â€
