Petition Hold a local referendum to scrap the West Midlands Combined Authority and Mayor

Devolution of powers to the WMCA with a £28.2bn deficit in the tax revenues to pay for them will result in huge cuts to public services including NHS cuts of £1bn for care of the chronically sick and further NHS cuts equivalent to 3 hospitals.
WMCA is transfer of power to the European Commission.
