Organise an open public meeting where the case for the inclusion of Solihull within the West Midlands Combined Authority can be properly examined and debated, prior to a final decision being taken by the Council.
Why is this important?
The establishment of the West Midlands Combined Authority is the most important change in regional local government in the last 25 years. The new authority will have a budget of many billions of pounds. There are genuine concerns about the extent to which members of the new Combined Authority will be democratically accountable to local people in the control of both policy and finance.
