West Bromwich Linkages Study

Client - Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council

West Bromwich is about to undergo a period of signficant change, as a series of major redevelopment proposals come forward. The Council has produced a Town Plan, which aims to create a high quality public realm and, to help achieve this aim, to co-ordinate development and identify opportunities for related town centre improvements.

Tibbalds was commissioned to prepare a public realm and linkages strategy that would create a pedestrian environment that is safe, attractive and easy to use, by improving:
• integration between the town centre and the wider area;
• pedestrian access to and between different parts of the town centre;
• the management of traffic, reducing conflicts and giving more priority to pedestrians and cyclists; and
• the quality and identity of the town centre’s streets and spaces.
