Regeneration
Town Centre Survey Goes Live
Published on
Walsall Town Centre Survey to inform major regeneration projects goes live.
Walsall Council is seeking your views ahead of three major regeneration projects in Walsall Town Centre. On-street surveys are currently underway and now residents can take part online. The aim is to gather information on how residents use the Town Centre and access the train and bus stations and their views on the Town Centre in general.
The Connected Gateway project will create a landmark arrival into Walsall Town Centre by increasing the footfall and types of uses in the area, and further contributing to the recovery and future strength of the economy. The ambitious scheme also involves the redevelopment of the Saddlers Centre shopping centre with enhanced railway gateway entrance, rail concourse and associated street works around the bus station. The overall aim is to improve connectivity between Walsall bus and railway stations by creating a new public square on Park Street, also improving passenger access to and from the station. The second project proposed will create a Performing Arts Venue within the Saddlers Centre.
The projects have been made possible by awards from the government’s Future High Streets Fund and Town Deal. In addition, there are also plans to remodel Gallery Square and enhance the canal basin area in a major transformation of Walsall Town Centre.
“ Real change is coming to Walsall Town Centre as we work to deliver the aims of the Town Centre Masterplan. Government funding has given us the opportunity to turn our vision into reality. It’s important that we listen to our residents and take them with us on this exciting journey. “
