On Monday 6 November 2023, a briefing by Walsall Council’s portfolio holder for regeneration Councillor Adrian Andrew will inform the Council of the scale of Walsall’s regeneration plans.
With £1.5billion of inward investment, Walsall Council is leading on transformative plans that will generate over 1000 new homes and over 4000 jobs for local people.
The report details the extensive long-term plans to build more housing, create jobs, support local businesses and attract investment opportunities.
“ The transformation of Walsall is well underway with exciting projects at various stages of development across the borough and much more in the pipeline. The economy is one of our major priorities and delivering regeneration is how we will drive its success.
As a Council we are committed to working with partners and developers to promote good, sustainable growth throughout the borough and deliver a brighter, healthier future for local people. We have attracted substantial investment already and have ambitious plans for the future and I am delighted to be able to share the progress of these projects at full Council. “
Walsall Council is leading on several major projects to transform Walsall Town Centre and the Council has been working to build relationships with a range of developers, businesses and providers to arrive at flexible solutions to place making.
Major developments are underway in Walsall Town Centre, Bloxwich and Willenhall, with Darlaston next on the list having been awarded £20 million of funding to develop a long-term plan.
“ It’s important to acknowledge that as well as all the exciting construction work and the drive to attract more business and investment, local people truly are at the heart of everything we’re doing. Through regeneration, we are creating opportunities for education and skills, creating jobs and affordable housing and offering support to Walsall based businesses to help them grow and thrive. “
Council takes place on Monday 6 November 2023 and is a public meeting, details on how the public can access the meeting and associated documents can be found on CMIS
