Night-Time Economy

The WMCA NTE policy function exists to support the inclusive growth of the region’s NTE and Nightlife Economy, working to make the West Midlands a world leading location to work, travel and play after 6pm.

Apply to the WMCA NTE Council

Applications are now open for organisations and businesses interested in becoming a member of the WMCA Night-Time Economy Council.

Following the publication of the Mayor’s Night-Time Economy Commission report in May 2026, the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has established a Night-Time Economy Council to help turn its recommendations into action. 

We are now looking for private sector representatives from across the West Midlands to join the Council and bring their knowledge, experience and perspective to this important work. 

Please note: this is a voluntary position, and representatives will be appointed for a 2-year term.
