'This is an ambitious plan for the future,' council's regeneration chief says of masterplan that is set to transform West Bromwich over the next 15 years
Sandwell Council is aiming to usher in a new era of growth and prosperity for West Bromwich, with its ambitious town centre masterplan - which is set to attract more than £300 million in investment.
The council says it is looking to deliver transformational change in West Bromwich Town Centre and create a place that people can be proud to call their home.
The masterplan, which covers plans for the town for the next 15 years to ensure it maintains its position in the Black Country as one of the four strategic centres, will act as a catalyst for ongoing and new regeneration schemes, unlocking opportunities to boost West Bromwich’s future.
This long-term vision, taking Sandwell into the 2040s, aims to boost business confidence through a series of regeneration projects including the creation of a new Metro gateway and new town square for events.
There are also plans for new green links, squares, parks and improvements to the sustainable transport network.
The vision to create a vibrant, active and sustainable town centre includes a focus on making it an attractive setting for residential and employment purposes.
