The Midlands Engine will have pedals.

Every voter in the West Midlands Combined Authority area should have received the 'Election of Mayor for the West Midlands Combined Authority' booklet recently, with information about the election and a 2-page advert from each candidate. It is a bit of a mess because each candidates submits their own copy in different styles and formats and they or their party has paid about £5,000 to be included in addition to their election deposit. The booklet like many of the leaflets coming through the door also includes the usual party political digs at other candidates.
