Once famous for its coal mining and steelworks, Bilston has built a new identity over the years. Today, it’s just as well known for its lively market days, which draw shoppers and traders from across the region.

Now, change is on the horizon.

Wolverhampton Council has announced a £20 million regeneration fund for the town. The council says local people have made it clear what they want: a cleaner, safer Bilston, with better parks, improved lighting, upgraded shops, and more spaces for recreation.
