Cllr John Clancy signed with the agreement with property developers Country Garden during a week-long trade mission to China and Hong Kong.

The joint statement with the company will see the council and Country Garden work together on regeneration and investment projects around the HS2 high-speed rail project.

Country Garden will also be involved with various housing developments in Birmingham and the surrounding area, as part of the deal.

Cllr Clancy said:

“This agreement is about bringing good jobs and quality homes to Birmingham. Country Garden have a proven track record of building homes at pace and scale.

They have played a major role over the last 20 years, as housebuilders have met the massive demands of China’s rapidly expanding economy.

Bringing this level of investment and experience to Birmingham would be a massive economic boost to the region’s businesses, skills base and families.”
