The site of the old Faces nightclub has been cleared for the scheme but construction work is yet to start

The Government-backed scheme will see a new campus for Wolverhampton College take over the site between Old Hall Street and Bilston Street, where Faces nightclub once stood.

Work was due to start in the spring but the Express & Star can reveal the scheme has now been pushed back due to issues relating to "third-party consents".

Wolverhampton Council has not confirmed a start date but said an announcement will be made "in due course", and that final design work has been "progressed" with contractor McLaughlin & Harvey.
