Since being elected in December 2019, I have worked hard with Government Ministers and our local partners in Wolverhampton to attract vital investment for our community, including the City Council.
Below you will find a comprehensive selection of funds that have been secured for our community. While some funds cannot be published due to their commercial sensitivity, I will endeavour to keep updating this webpage as frequently as I can and to include any relevant links so that you can find more information.
