If you are looking for specific data or information about one of the sub-regions, in addition to our Resource Catalogue on wmro.org, you might also like to try one of the sub-regional intelligence units.
Here is a list of some of them to help you track down the information that you need.
- Herefordshire Partnership
- Worcestershire Research & Intelligence Unit
- Warwickshire Observatory
- Black Country Observatory
- Staffordshire Observatory
In addition to these, many of the local authorities also have intelligence or research units that can provide data and statistics. I’ve previously looked at one, Research Sandwell, in an earlier posting.
If you have other sources of sub-regional information that are not listed here, why not post a comment to let others know about it. And of course, you can always submit details of any research and data sources relevant to the West Midlands to the resource catalogue, thereby making it even easier for others to track down!
