Claire Ward has become the first ever East Midlands Mayor
Claire Ward says she is "confident" that Labour are ready for a general election after winning the race to become the first-ever East Midlands Mayor. The result of the contest was announced at the Nottingham Tennis Centre on Friday , with Ms Ward securing a huge majority.
Ms Ward is leading the brand new East Midlands Combined County Authority, which is being given powers to make decisions on local issues currently made in Westminster. It is therefore being given £38 million every year for the next 30 years to deliver local decision-making and projects.Asked about her priorities for the role, Ms Ward said: "I've got some things I want to be able to get on with, but obviously this is a brand new authority.
Asked whether this campaign saw voters vote on local issues, or whether they were instead sending a message to Westminster, Ms Ward said it was a "mix of both." The East Midlands Mayor added: " are so utterly fed up with this Government, with the Conservative control around our region. They were wanting to send a message and hopefully this is just the start.
