First Report of the Memorandum of Understanding on Cross Border Collaboration

In March 2007 we launched the Central Wales - West Midlands Memorandum of Understanding on Cross-border Collaboration and on April 2nd 2009 we welcomed over 150 people to the Hope Community Church Conference Centre in Newtown to reflect on the progress made and explore the key priorities for the future.

With the help of those many organisations that have signed up to the principles of the Memorandum, the Welsh Assembly Government and the West Midlands Regional Assembly are continuing to promote stronger and more effective cross border collaboration between all key organisations in Central Wales and the West Midlands.
