Wednesfield High Street Improvements

Closed 29 Apr 2024

Opened 18 Mar 2024

Overview

Wednesfield High Street is a priority area for investment, with the High Street performing an important role locally, and the nearby Bentley Bridge Retail Park and other facilities attracting visitors from a wider catchment.

This project comprises improvements to Wednesfield High Street to provide enhanced facilities, increase footfall and attract further investment and development. Proposals include the creation of an improved market area with the addition of canopies to create a covered walkway, and new events space. Improved lighting and seating with more greening through additional trees and planting will create a safe and attractive walking and cycling environment.

A series of capital improvements to the quality of the Wednesfield High Street environment are proposed, which are the subject of this consultation.
