How we're regenerating Walsall

Walsall is in middle of a £1.5 billion programme of investment, transforming the borough as a destination of choice to live, work and spend time.

Transforming our borough

£0.5 billion of investment has already been achieved and delivered 1,700 new homes and 3,600 jobs locally.

Over £0.5 billion of investment is currently in delivery, with a further 1,000 new homes under construction, 1,700 jobs being created, as well as new rail stations and transport infrastructure.

Walsall has successfully secured over £140 million of government funding in the last 5 years, including Future High Streets Fund, Town Deal and Levelling Up initiatives.

Pipeline opportunities

Walsall Growth Corridor is a major investment opportunity that has the potential to deliver a further £0.5 billion investment.

These opportunities, located along the A454 corridor from Walsall town centre to Willenhall, provide an opportunity for transformational place-making, capitalising on the re-opening of the railway line between Walsall and Wolverhampton for passenger services and the new stations being built in Willenhall and Darlaston.

The corridor includes several exciting priority projects: The Walsall Town Centre Masterplan, Willenhall Framework Plan, and The Walsall Growth Zone. This provides an opportunity to strengthen the Black Country Enterprise Zone clustered near to M6 Jct10 and the planned Darlaston rail station with the potential to strengthen the economy through the delivery of c. 2,000 jobs and 2 million sqft of industrial floorspace.
