Andy Street, a prominent leader in the West Midlands, has been widely praised for his transformative leadership over the past seven years, though he recently missed out on securing a third term. Street's seven-year tenure was marked by significant investments in Birmingham, the Black Country, and Solihull, with a particular emphasis on green initiatives in Solihull. Described as a kind and capable leader, Street has been credited with enhancing the region's reputation and economic status. His approach to politics, noted for its sensibility and pragmatism, has been lauded as a model of effective governance.
Thank you @andy4wm for showing such capable leadership and demonstrating what One Nation Conservatism can do with an absolute focus on delivering for local communities. A man full of integrity, and more to come no doubt. https://t.co/cPQNXpNYOz
Truly sorry to see @andy4wm miss out on a 3rd term - a superb business leader, turned leader for his home region, Andy has made a difference for the people and places he served. His sensible, pragmatic approach to politics is refreshing, I hope heβs back in public life soon. https://t.co/1wz8dgEpSR
Andy represents the best of politics. He put our region firmly on the map and itβs been an honour and privilege to work for him, with him and to call him a friend. Our region is so much better off for having had @andy4wm at the helm for the last 7 years π https://t.co/lW1en1BGQR
One of the kindest, most capable men I know. Thank you @andy4wm for transforming our region with ambition, vision, and determination. A very sad day for the West Midlands https://t.co/t9GoCNKCaW

Andy Street has been a game-changer, the best thing for the West Midlands! Birmingham's lit up, the Black Country's buzzing with investment, and Solihull's leading the green scene. He should have major national role. A kind and wonderful man, truly the best thing in public life.
