Chair's Remarks The Chair welcomed the recent announcement of a Skills Deal with the Government that would result in over £100m of investment to support skills within the region, including apprenticeships for SMEs, digital skills and more experience and careers skills support for young people. He also congratulated Tim Johnson on his recent appointment as the new Managing Director of the City of Wolverhampton Council. 16. Minutes - 22 June 2018 The minutes of the meeting were agreed as a correct record. 17. Forward Plan The forward plan of items to be considered at future meetings was noted. 18. Appointment of Transport Delivery Committee Chair Councillor Roger Lawrence reported on the need to appoint the chair and vice-chairs for the Transport Delivery Committee for 2018/19. Resolved: (1) Councillor Kath Hartley be appointed as chair of Transport Delivery Committee for 2018/19. (2) Councillor Roger Horton and Councillor Tim Huxtable be appointed as vice-chairs of Transport Delivery Committee for 2018/19. 19. Process and Indicative Timetable for Incorporation of West Midlands Police & Crime Commissioner Functions into the Mayoralty The board considered a report from Henry Kippin, Director of Public Service Reform, that outlined the proposed route to achieve the transfer of the West Midlands Police & Crime Commissioner role to the Mayor. The second Devolution Deal confirmed that, in addition to continuing the integration of the West Midlands Fire & Rescue Authority within the WMCA, the Government, WMCA and the Police & Crime Commissioner would work together to agree a detailed governance model and legislative timetable for incorporating the role and powers of the Police & Crime Commissioner into the mayoralty, with a view to electing the first Mayor with these powers in 2020. The Order to enable this would be made by the Home Secretary with the consent of constituent authorities, the WMCA and the Mayor, and it was expected that the Home Office would work closely with them, and the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner, in developing the secondary legislation required. Page 2 Councillor George Duggins expressed concern that a single public consultation exercise was proposed that would seek views on both the principle of transferring the Police & Crime Commissioner’s role into that of the Mayor as well as the specifics of how that would be achieved and the new structures that would then exist within the West Midlands. He considered that a two-stage consultation process, similar to that undertaken in respect of governance changes with the West Midlands Fire & Rescue Authority, was more appropriate. Councillor Ian Ward was also concerned that the consultation exercise was proposed to run between 19 November - 14 January, and suggested that this would limit

Implementation Plan: Outcomes ...................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2 Foreword When West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) launched its Cycling Charter I was very excited to become Cycling Champion - and championing the Black Country Cycling & Walking Strategy is an essential element of that role. Our vision is to realise the full potential of the importance of cycling and walking to the health and wealth of the Black Country – creating more sustainable suburbs, towns and cities that are healthier, safer and more desirable place to live, work and learn. I am genuinely passionate about this issue and the opportunity to promote this ambitious campaign. As an occasional Black Country cyclist myself, I’m looking to work with other people who really know the issues and have practical ideas to boost bikes as a mainstream means of transport. The aim is to make a bike a safer and easier routine travel choice, through improved infrastructure such as cycle lanes, cycle priority and improvements at stations and other public spaces. Historically the West Midlands region has had fewer people choosing to cycle to work than other metropolitan regions - and we want to change that.

This report is about the environment of Birmingham, Solihull, much of the Black Country and parts of Warwickshire, what we call the West Midlands - Tame area. It is all the land that drains to the River Tame up to Kingsbury, just upstream of the River Purification Lakes at Lea Marston. The report looks at the physical environment of land, air, water, wildlife and heritage. It highlights the current quality of the environment, the natural resources of the area and how they can be protected. It also identifies specific environmental problems in the area and how they can be tackled. Why should I read it? The Environment Agency wants to hear your views on the issues facing the environment of the area and what you think should be done about them. Telling us your views will enable you to contribute to environmental protection and improvement and influence what the Environment Agency and others do. We will be pleased to receive any comments that you wish to make but in particular we are very keen to know: o what you think should be done about them? o how important do you think the issues are? o What you think of our proposals? o are there problems or opportunities that we have not included? o whether you can help to tackle any of the issues.
