The housing development in Bilston

The homes are springing up on a plot of land on Broads Lane as part of the £175 million Bilston Urban Village project.

The major development will transform land located at the south of Bilston and the Black Country Route.

Housebuilder Countryside were named as the developer for the site off Coseley Road after it was granted permission to begin enabling works in August.

Families have already moved into some homes on the estate.

Construction work is being completed by the Kier group.

As part of the deal to build the new homes, Countryside also agreed to help pay for the relocation of Loxdale Primary School from its current Chapel Street base to a new purpose-built building on land between Dudley Street and Bankfield Road.
