The Mayor said: I've set out my priorities for the region, but it's vital that I listen to residents to make sure I stay focused on what matters most to them.

I'm looking forward to talking to the people of the Black Country about how we're delivering more social homes, improving bus services, opening-up job opportunities and tackling youth unemployment head-on.

I also want to understand the community's concerns, answer their questions, and make sure their views help shape the work that me and my team do.
