We are Walsall 2040

Organisations from across Walsall have come together to develop a vision for the future of the borough. More than 10,000 residents and businesses have shared their views about what they want Walsall to look and be like in 2040 and beyond.

Walsall in 2040 will be the most improved borough in the region, a vibrant place where people are proud to live and residents in all neighbourhoods have the same life chances.

How we developed the vision

Partners across the borough have listened to thousands of people that live, work, study and invest in the borough. The We are Walsall 2040 engagement programme was carried out from June 2022 – March 2023 and sought a wide range of views, opinions, and priorities on what matters now and for the future of Walsall.

Ambitions

We are:

• thriving and happy
• healthy and well
• prosperous and innovative
• proud of our borough
