New West Midlands mayor Richard Parker starts our West Midlands Growth & Regeneration Breakfast #InsiderWMGrowth

Parker wants local authorities to remain main provider of planning, but says he wants to help deliver housing development with partnerships with councils and private sector. #InsiderWMGrowth

@InsiderWMGrowth We need to radically improve the region's productivity with industrial strategy says Parker.

#InsiderWMGrowth The region has 30,000 businesses that have been overlooked as regards support says Parker. As regards inward investment he wants to ensure that companies that set up in this region employ local skills rather than bringing people in.

Parker wants to start investigating in skills, particularly for young people who do no go to university, with a regional industrial policy, so skills are delivered to the needs of business. #InsiderWMGrowth

Mayor Parker says he'll start the biggest social housing strategy that the West Midlands has seen in 40 years. #InsiderWMGrowth

West Midlands mayoral Richard Parker says he can now start addressing the faulting in the skills system and bring buses back in public control #InsiderWMGrowth

We want more applications for funding for development in the Gun Quarter, says WMCA's John Godfrey. He's had a significant number for the Jewellery Quarter, including "chunky schemes" but few in the Gun Quarter #InsiderRegeneration

The Gun Quarter should hold onto its brand "with all its might" because it has a genuine, established heritage, and is an opportunity to show gradual development. Nick Jones, Turner & Townsend #InsiderRegeneration

The Jewellery and Gun Quarters will have major role in "anchoring" young talent to stay in Birmingham. However they need more stable, family friendly development rather than being "a rite of passage" for the young. Dan Leather, Gowling #InsiderRegeneration

"I'm really frustrated with the lack of development in the Gun Quarter, despite some developers doing things with assets you wouldn't look twice at...Birmingham's masterplan will address these, with green spaces." Simon Delahunty-Forrest. #InsiderRegeneration

Birmingham's Gun Quarter is a clean slate for development, but it needs door to door consultation to avoid claims of gentrification. Nicola Fleet-Milne, #InsiderRegeneration
