Agreed that:-
Approval be given to accept the Commonwealth Games Legacy

contract with the West Midlands Combined Authority for the delivery
of the Commonwealth Games Legacy provision.
Reasons for the decision:
The funding will be used to tackle high levels
of youth unemployment in Sandwell and will offer additional
