Major plans have been approved for the former bus depot site in Ettingshall. Plans have been approved for the £21 million transformation of the former bus depot site in Cleveland Road in Ettingshall to make it a key gateway to Wolverhampton city centre.

The proposed new buildings on the former bus depot site have been carefully designed in a clean modern style, to allow the elevations to stand the test of time and continually enhance the period architecture of the much-admired hospital building.

The development will be a mixed-use scheme, consisting of 74 apartments and 18 houses to be offered for sale. There is also a YMCA building including retail space, a training and office area, plus a day nursery. It will offer day care and education for up to 120 children aged from birth to five years, plus accommodation for young people working and studying in the city.

I am delighted that the plans have been approved for the old bus depot site in my ward, Jessups are already doing outstanding work in redeveloping areas across the city. I am also pleased that the YMCA will have a building on this site, as a Governance member for the charity, I am aware of the fantastic work that they do in the Black Country in both education, training and health care. I look forward to working with both Jessups and the YMCA as the project gets off the ground.
