The weak local economic situation is still having a residual effect on the levels of house completions across the Borough. However the higher level of completions in the current year is evidence that market confidence is beginning to return and there is greater access to mortgage finance The Government formally abolished the West Midlands regional Spatial Strategy in May 2012.
