The £21m plan commences

Work has started on the £21M masterplan on the Cleveland Road site where the former Royal Hospital used to be.

The former Royal Hospital site will feature apartments, houses, a retail unit and a nursery as part of the YMCA Black Country Group’s development there.

Diggers and cranes have moved onto land in front of the old royal site near Wolverhampton city centre, marking the start of a £21 million scheme to regenerate the area.
The Cleveland Road site will become a new gateway to the city, featuring open space and a large pedestrianised area.

The nursery will offer day care and education for up to 120 children aged up to five, plus accommodation for young people working and studying in the city.

It is among a number of major projects in the pipeline for Wolverhampton, including the Westside development and a scheme to pedestrianise Lichfield Street.

I am proud to be a Governance member of the YMCA Black Country Group and I’m thrilled that the work on the site has started. I’ve spoken to local residents who are equally excited that the vision is beginning to come to life.
The new development will provide much-needed facilities in Ettingshall including housing for young people, a nursery and a retail unit. I’m very excited to work in partnership with the YMCA to help this new venture develop. https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2019/05/09/work-starts-on-21m-transformation-of-site-near-wolverhamptons-former-royal-hospital/?fbclid=IwAR13gbY1phOgMhK9d19NXMGL15gBkVoUFfb9i-6lTTR5qCd8fK2iUuku3Vs
