'2026 will bring new housing, new railway stations, more jobs and opportunities': Walsall looks to the future with regeneration projects
Walsall borough is looking to the future with major regeneration projects set to create new homes, jobs and opportunities.
Huge amounts of investment have been, and continue to be, attracted to the borough to improve local areas, restore buildings back into economic use, build new homes and create more opportunities for work and leisure.
Councillor Adrian Andrew, deputy leader of Walsall Council, said: “We’re starting 2026 in a really strong position with lots to look forward to across the borough. We’re moving forward with transformative schemes that are already underway, and we’re implementing new frameworks and strategies to build on the incredible progress we’ve already made.
“2026 will bring new housing, new railway stations, more jobs and opportunities, and the start of the major transformation of Walsall town centre, and much more. It’s a really exciting time for Walsall.”
New employment floorspace will be delivered on various brownfield sites across the borough in 2026 and beyond, including units on the landmark scheme SPARK, by the M6 Junction 10. The sites will create vital opportunities for employment and business, turning disused brownfield land into high-spec hubs for logistics and warehousing.
