Wolverhampton Council is asking for your views on early design options for a key city centre gateway.

Cleveland Road connects the city centre to the newly transformed Royal Quarter.

The consultation is urging people to have their say on how it can best be used as an active travel corridor with improved walking and cycling facilities, and connectivity across the Ring Road.

Public drop-in sessions have been arranged where people can see the illustrative designs and find out more – attendees can even enjoy a virtual walkthrough using a VR headset.

The project team will be at the Urban Room in Queen Square (WV1 1TH) between 11am and 3pm on Monday (July 21) and the YMCA in Cleveland Road (WV2 1BJ) on Wednesday (July 23) between 12pm and 4pm.

If you are unable to attend either session, you can view the illustrative views at www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/cleveland-road and leave your feedback online.

City of Wolverhampton Council Cabinet Member for City Transport, Councillor Qaiser Azeem, said: “The Royal Quarter has undergone significant regeneration in recent years, with hundreds of homes delivered and the iconic Royal Hospital building being brought back into use to create a thriving new neighbourhood.

“It is now important we hear from the community about what they think Cleveland Road can best serve them as a key gateway to the city centre.

“I urge people to have their say on the early design options in person or online so we can build a clear picture of how we can best develop proposals.”
