The meeting will be held in the West Midlands, where Labour made a surprise gain after a nail-biting re-count that saw the Tories' Andy Street ousted from office.
Sir Keir Starmer will bring together Labour's newly expanded team of mayors on Monday to develop a 'gold standard' for growing regional economies. It comes after a string of victories in the local elections, with Labour seizing the West Midlands mayoralty after a knife-edge battle and Sadiq Khan seeing off Tory challenger Susan Hall to win a historic third term in London.
In a display of strengthened ties, Sir Keir will tomorrow point to work already being done by Labour's mayors - such as Andy Burnham's bus rollout in Greater Manchester - and say this can help set a 'gold standard' for future Local Growth Plans.
