The new map will officially be presented at the Black Country Chamber of Commerce's Exhibition and Awards on 11 September.
Copies are being printed on Friday and they will go on sale in the middle of next month.

This is what it says on the following link
"Copies of the new maps would be printed in time to show local MPs in September, but no date had yet been set for them to go on general release"
