A range of improvements will be carried out at sites across the area with the aim of enhancing playing facilities, introducing a raft of sporting and other facilities and bring redundant buildings back into use.

The venues identified as part of the scheme include King George V Playing Fields – where Bloxwich Carnival has been held in previous years – Bloxwich and Leamore Parks, Pat Collins Memorial Gardens and Promenade Gardens.

The Green Bloxwich Programme is one of the projects being undertaken as part of the wider £25m Town Deal funded by the Government.

Bosses said facilities will be enhanced with new multi-use games area, tennis courts, outdoor gyms, allotment areas, tree planting, new paths and landscaping and improved car parking.
