The Chancellor announced a new plan this morning to tackle the cost of living with several measures to help local people and businesses keep their hard-earned money in their own pockets by cutting taxes, freezing alcohol duty to keep the cost of a pint down, as well as cutting stamp duty permanently to support first time buyers and those already on the property ladder
Part of the Growth Plan will also see the creation of Investment Zones across England and I'm pleased that Walsall and the West Midlands is expected to benefit from tax incentives, streamlined planning applications, increased productivity and new jobs to help develop our local economy
