Real investment, in the West Midlands, for the people who live here

Pride in Solihull

A new era for getting around

£2.4 billion has been committed to extend the West Midlands Metro — connecting Birmingham city centre through to North Solihull for the first time. The East Birmingham Metro Extension will serve Millennium Point, Birmingham City University and Curzon Street HS2 station, unlocking £3 billion in private investment and opening up new routes to jobs, education and opportunity. And on the roads you use every day, 1,640 potholes were filled across Solihull last year. 

Your local clubs and green spaces are being looked after

Over £13,800 has been invested in grassroots sports facilities across Solihull in 2024/25, and approximately £1,000 in 2025/26 — from Smiths Wood Playing Field and Shirley Park to Malvern Park and Knowle Park. Clubs including Coldlands Colts FC and Solihull Moors FC are among those receiving funding from the UK Government, Premier League and The Football Association’s charity the Football Foundation to improve their facilities. These are the places your community trains, plays and comes together.

Culture, community and cleaner energy

5 family hubs are now open across the borough — at Elmwood, Evergreen, Hatchford Brook, Riverside and Shirley Heath — ensuring support is accessible wherever you live. 

2 local schools, Greswold Primary and Bishop Wilson Church of England Primary, have received solar panels through Great British Energy, cutting energy costs and freeing up more money for schools.

Pride in Herefordshire

Keeping Herefordshire’s roads in shape

Nearly £959,000 has been invested in sports facilities across Herefordshire in 2024/25 — from Victoria Park and Newton Farm to Greyhound Rugby Football Club and The SSAFA County Ground. Belmont Abbey, Burghill Community Academy, Delahay Meadow, Shobdon Airfield, Wellington Playing Field and Queen Elizabeth High School in Bromyard have all received funding too. These are the clubs, grounds and green spaces where Herefordshire’s communities come together. This funding is provided by the UK Government, Premier League and The Football Association’s charity the Football Foundation.

Giving Herefordshire’s children the best start

A new nursery is already open at St Thomas Cantilupe CofE Academy, with 2 more on the way — at St Joseph’s RC Primary School and Weston-under-Penyard CofE Primary School. More young children across the county are getting the best possible start.

Pride in Nuneaton and Bedworth
