About

The Economy and Growth Scrutiny Panel examines the council's work to foster a thriving economy across Wolverhampton. It scrutinises initiatives aimed at supporting local businesses, attracting investment, creating jobs, and enhancing high streets.

The panel reviews data on unemployment, qualifications, business survival rates, and infrastructure like fibre coverage and electric charging points. It also looks at council apprenticeships and investment enquiries, providing recommendations on the Strategic Economic Plan.
