Fury as cash clawed back

GOVERNMENT TAKES £1.6M UNSPENT MONEY EARMARKED FOR JOBS FROM WMCA
COUNCIL leaders have hit out after unspent money that could have “changed so many lives” was clawed back by the Government.
Members of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Board were told £1.6 million from a £9.4 million Free Courses for Jobs grant was returned to the Department for Education after it was not used in the 2023/24 academic year.
City of Wolverhampton Council leader Stephen Simkins and Solihull Council leader Karen Grinsell have said they are concerned, as officers had reassured them the authority was on track for full delivery against its 2024/25 allocation, and devolution and the integrated settlement would give more flexibility to invest money.
