    WEDNESBURY gets £20MILLION of 'regeneration' money. Do you get the feeling that the money will not make a jot of difference?

    Should waive business rates and get some farm shops in there selling local produce, and more independent shops.

      Totally agree, this would also work in the West Brom High Street.

      Agree, would work in most high streets and would help out the farmers as they get ripped off by the supermarkets

      The world has changed, no one is going to park up and drag food shopping back to the car from several little farm shops. What other independent shops can you think of? Ones that people would actually use. I appreciate the sentiment, and I find it sad too, but I really don't see how this will get better.

    Brought back some memories this did mate, Wednesbury my home town was a busy bustling town when I grew up there in the 90s sad to see it so tired now I left in 2004 and it just doesn’t feel like home anymore when I pass through.

    What did the council expect when they gave permission for a giant like Morrisons to open up a megastore, it’s killed the already struggling high street and market stalls, even has a cafe inside so they went too.
    The old kwik save and Woolworths went, no wonders it’s full of nail bars, fast food and tattooists, it’s a dead town just flatten it and make more parking spaces for mozzers.

    Wednesbury Town looks pleasant enough. It seems as though there are not too many boarded up shops that we see in many towns these days. I suppose nail shops/ hair shops are better than no shops, but totally agree"…………. How many of these facilities do you need in such a small area?
