Major Bilston Market regeneration plans given the go ahead
Plans to redevelop Bilston outdoor market have been given the go-ahead.
The plans were lodged with Wolverhampton Council in November and have now been given the green light.
The new-look market will be connected to extensive public space improvements and Bilston’s public transport hub.
The plans include the enhancement of the entrance off the Black Country Route, reorganisation and refurbishment of the indoor and outdoor markets, the introduction of new retail units and public toilets, the provision of a flexible space where events can be hosted, and a taller canopy to cover the stalls in the outdoor market.
Funding of £5.2 million from the Towns Fund will support the market redevelopment, which is also part of the transformative Bilston Health & Regeneration Programme (HaRP).
