Creating jobs, boosting skills, and opening doors for local people are at the heart of everything Paulette does for our community. So it was great to welcome Alison McGovern, the DWP Minister, to Erdington.

They began the day at Witton Lodge Community Association, where young people and local partners shared their experiences and ideas for expanding opportunities. Later, they visited Erdington Jobcentre, meeting with work coaches who are helping residents achieve their goals.

Erdington is truly on the map, and together, we’re building a brighter future for everyone.
