Regeneration Project Set to Revitalize Derelict Willenhall
26 Jul
Summary
- A major regeneration project decision is imminent for Willenhall.
- Derelict factories in the Locksmith Quarter are being demolished.
- Plans include building 33 to 57 new homes with parking.
Decision on a major regeneration project for Willenhall is expected next week. The Locksmith Quarter, historically a centre for the town's lock-making industry, has fallen into disrepair and become a hotspot for anti-social behaviour.
Walsall Council began demolishing the dilapidated factories earlier this year, with most cleared. Plans to redevelop sites on Temple Bar, Moat Street, Cemetery Road, Villiers Street, and New Hall Street will be considered by the council's planning committee.
If approved, developer Keepmoat plans to construct 33 two-bedroom, 57 three-bedroom, and 19 four-bedroom homes. Each new residence will include two parking spaces, signalling a new chapter for the revitalized area.
