WV One update on support for City Centre Regeneration
The event came hot on the heels of the news about the three supermarket developments and the announcement that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is to
invest over £300m and create up to 750 jobs at a new factory on the i54 site on the edge of Wolverhampton. It was encouraging that proposals centred on retaining the existing retail core and anchor stores.
Issues that came up were the need to attract more family friendly and leisure attractions, the requirement for quality modern offices, improving the flow of traffic and pedestrians, ensuring sufficient car parking for developments and support from the council in preparing sites.
The city centre is one of the key priorities in the newly published City Strategy - available from the Wolverhampton Partnership website: www.wtonpartnership.org.uk. The next stage is for the City Council to produce a City Centre Prospectus and look to target new investors and developers.
WV One will be supporting the City Council, retailers and developers at every opportunity.
