West Bromwich Ramblers are still going strong and later this year will celebrate 50 years of pounding the countryside in the region.

Sandwell will celebrate the success of services for children, young people, families and communities at a special event at The Public in West Bromwich this week.

Join in the fun in aid of Sports Relief in a charity aerobathon.

Sandwell Council Leader Cllr Darren Cooper and Cabinet member for neighbourhoods and housing Cllr Mahboob Hussain celebrate the signing off of a scheme worth more than £3 million to build 28 new homes in Smethwick.

The public are being invited to have their say on plans to rebuild the next three Sandwell schools under the multi-million pound Building Schools For The Future scheme.
