The link is the open space connecting WV Active Bilston-Bert Williams
Leisure Centre and wider Urban Village development to Bilston town centre.
Ideas are being sought for how the local community and groups, especially
young people, can use the land.
The results from the survey will help shortlist options for discussion at a
meeting with residents and community groups early in the New Year.
The final Bilston High Street Link works form part of the transformative Bilston
Health & Regeneration Programme (HaRP), supported by Levelling Up
funding secured from the Government in March.
Councillor Stephen Simkins, City of Wolverhampton Council Leader, said:
“The Bilston High Street Link improvements are part of our wider works to
deliver the best for the town.
“We not only want to enhance this public space to create a better environment
– but also make it a thriving space for activities, particularly for the young
people of Bilston.
“I would therefore urge residents to use the survey and have their say on how
they want this space at the heart of their community used.
“It is important for our traditional local centres to flourish, and this scheme
builds substantially on the investment already made in Bilston in recent
years.”
