Founding Partners
English Partnerships
English Partnerships is the national regeneration agency which was created in 1999 following the merger of the Commission for the New Towns (CNT) and the Urban Regeneration Agency.
The organisations overall aim is to achieve high-quality, well-designed, sustainable places for people to live, work and enjoy.
Advantage West Midlands
Advantage West Midlands is the Regional Development Agency (RDA) for the West Midlands. It was established by the Government in 1999 along with seven other RDAs, to transform England's regions through sustainable economic development. All RDAs are non-departmental public bodies that are accountable to the Department of Trade and Industry.
The rationale behind RDAs is that successful solutions to regional problems need to be rooted in the regions themselves, rather than being enforced by central government. This is especially relevant when you consider that each English region has its own identity and its own individual strengths and challenges.
Telford & Wrekin Council
Telford & Wrekin Council is a unitary authority that has responsibility for all local government services in the area including education, social services and libraries.
It is one of the top performing councils in the West Midlands, rated four star by the Audit Commission - an independent watchdog.
