Dudley Council’s cabinet have organised the trip to discuss the controversial plans, which are currently under review.

Plans for the site, on Budden Road, was given the green light under the last council which was run by the Conservatives.

But since since Labour took power, they have put the plans on hold to carry out their own assessments.

The community in Coseley have objected strongly to the site.

They also want to hear about other concerns affecting residents.
