The council has invited business organisations, groups representing local firms and the voluntary sector to a meeting with its cabinet.

The meeting on February 19 will give representatives a chance to give feedback to the council on its proposals for expenditure for the next financial year and give their ideas on how services could be improved.

It is taking place at 5pm in Sandwell Council House, Freeth Street, Oldbury.

Councillor Wasim Ali, Sandwell Council’s cabinet member for resources and core services, said: "It is important that the business and voluntary sectors are given a chance to have a say on how they think money should be spent in the borough.

"We will listen to any suggestions or ideas they come up with and they will be discussed by the council at a later date.”

Anyone who wishes to get involved in the consultation should contact Suky Suthi-Nagra on 0121 569 3479.
