Dudley Council is seeking a compulsory purchase order on the former Farmfoods site so it can use the land as part of its new bus station and interchange.

Dudley Council is seeking to make a compulsory purchase order of the land on Fisher Street as part of its initiative to build a new £24m bus and tram interchange in the town, with work set to start later this year.

The local authority began compulsory purchase proceedings for the shop last year after the retailer refused to move unless the council found it a new location 38 times bigger than its existing store.
