The Mayor said: “The derelict Longbridge site was always a stark and painful reminder of how far the West Midlands had fallen during the so-called ‘boom years’ as the rest of the country surged forward. “But standing on the iconic site now, when so much life has been breathed back into it, shows just how far we have come in recent years.
