Your Borough, Your Home is the local magazine with important information for Dudley Borough residents.

"I’ve always known we have amazing businesses flying the flag for Dudley and the Black Country all around the world, so it’s been a real pleasure over recent months to be able to visit some of them as part of our Made in Dudley Borough initiative.

Businesses have been through the toughest of times, but their resilience has shone through. As a council we will continue to support them to bounce back bigger, better and bolder, however we also want to celebrate their work and achievements.

But we can all give a massive boost to our borough businesses by supporting local and there’s no better time to do this than on Small Business Saturday, on December 4, and in the run-up to Christmas. Please do shop local and help our fantastic businesses thrive.

We’ve information on support and advice available through our Winter Wellbeing campaign to help people keep safe, warm and well over the winter months and also details on our Pleased to Meet You service for those who feel isolated. If you do need any help or support, please do get in touch.

There’s also the latest on our fantastic new Duncan Edwards Leisure Centre, due to open early next year, and details of our magical Christmas portal event at Himley from December 16 to 19. Tickets are now on sale.

As we approach the end of the year, we’re looking forward to submitting our bid for city status on December 8. We are tremendously proud of our borough and have huge ambitions for our future.

Again, thank you for your efforts during this pandemic. Please continue to remain cautious to reduce the risk of transmission to our loved ones and communities."

Leader of Dudley Council
