As the historic capital of the Black Country, Dudley borough has a past to be proud of at the heart of the industrial revolution. But whilst proud of the past, Dudley Council is keen to look forwards and today, we are working with our partners across the borough to deliver our borough vision.

​

At the Council we strongly recognise and value the importance of partnership working. We have been working on a long-term plan with the business community, tourist attractions, schools and colleges and the communities we serve, to help deliver a joint vision for the future that we all believe in.

​

The borough's future is exciting as we embark on numerous multi-million pound regeneration schemes in the coming years, including the development of the £450 million Midland Metro coming into the borough as well as the Very Light Rail, the Institute of Technology and a new bus interchange. Alongside this we are making the biggest investment in Council services in a decade that will help tackle the ongoing and very serious challenges of ensuring vulnerable people across the borough receive the services they deserve.

​

Strong partnerships with our colleagues, stakeholders and residents are the key to our future success. We are keen to hear from candidates who excel in relationship-building, exhibit exceptional strategic thinking and possess the necessary gravitas to help us achieve our vision for Dudley on a local, regional and national level.
 
Dudley boasts a history and heritage most cities around the world could only dream of. From millions of years of geological significance, to the Domesday Book reference of 1086 and its medieval castle, right through to its pivotal role at the centre of the Industrial Revolution, our proud past takes some beating.
 
And this history, coupled with today’s billion-pound regeneration schemes, which are a match for any established city and are transforming and modernising the landscape of the borough, make us believe we are a city in the making with a future to be excited about.
