The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has been awarded a £51m grant to redevelop brownfield sites in the region.

The money will be used to build houses on former industrial sites, the WMCA said, including a development at the former MG Rover plant in Longbridge.
"The new year has the potential to be a very good one for our future housing plans," Metropolitan Mayor Andy Street said.
"We must keep up the momentum as housebuilding and brownfield land remediation will have a key part to play in our economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.”
