West Longbridge

The development of West Longbridge heals what was one of the most painful manufacturing collapses in the regions history and is a symbol of a new, brighter era for the West Midlands.

The development, in particular the careful restoration and re-naturalisation of the River Rea corridor, the development of the linear park landscape and dedicated active travel connections, deserve to be recognised for the multiple environmental, social and economic benefits it is providing. The proposed re-development will be an asset to the existing community and it gives the once iconic site the recognition it deserves for future generations to enjoy.
