The fund totalled £2.3bn and combined authorities were invited to submit bids of up to £250m in value. The West Midlands Combined Authority had submitted four separate bids that, if approved, would deliver a total of 66,000 new housing units. Councillor Sean Coughlan considered this process to have illustrated how partners could work together for the wider benefit of the region, and the Mayor thanked everyone who had been involved in putting the bids together.
