Anthony Gormley's Iron Man & Birmingham Town Hall

West Midlands

Welcome to the website for the Government Office for the West Midlands. Here you will find information about the Government Office as we join up the work of 10 Central Government Departments across the West Midlands, and feed back the region’s views and unique needs to Whitehall.

We work to deliver, influence and develop government programmes and initiatives in the region on behalf of these departments, by working with relevant organisations to meet local needs. We also act as ears, eyes and a local voice for Whitehall in the West Midlands, reflecting back to central government the interests, concerns and successes of the region to inform policy development.

Our website is a part of this process, and we hope that you will find it easy to use.
