Active Public Spaces Scheme
How we aim to improve the public spaces around Walsall Town Centre
The Council’s Active Public Spaces scheme will deliver an inviting, engaging and quality public space around the northern end of Park Street and its link into Gallery Square. This will provide a stronger connection between the High Street, the New Art Gallery Canal Basin and local restaurant and entertainment facilities. Aligned to the ambitions of the Town Centre Masterplan this project will help to change the experience you have when you visit Walsall Town Centre. The physical and visual links will encourage more use of the Waterfront and its facilities and put Walsall New Art Gallery at its heart.
In partnership with Canal River Trust, we will improve this critical space for town centre users and canal boaters. New and improved facilities will encourage boaters to visit and extend their stays around the Canal Basin, creating a vibrant and active waterfront for casual visitors, shoppers and gallery visitors.
