Walsall Council: a local authority which is proud of their past, present and future
Following a competitive design competition, Node were commissioned as part of a wider design team to undertake landscape design (RIBA stages 1-6) for a key area of town centre public realm between Walsall’s central train and bus stations, as part of the Walsall Connected Gateway project.
In December 2020 Walsall Council was awarded £11.44m by Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) as part of the Future High Streets Fund (FHSF) to fund the works. This is a critical project in the delivery of the Council’s long term, aspirational vision for the town and is intended to kick start economic growth in Walsall.
The design development process is currently in progress, with works planned to commence on site in 2023.
The project will deliver transformational investment of the rail and bus stations either side of the high street in Walsall town centre. The intervention will radically improve the visitor experience on the high street, drive wider regenerative benefits and re-position Walsall’s economic status as a sub-regional centre.
