The Kingshurst Village regeneration is moving ahead, with senior councillors backing the next phase to enhance community services and facilities.
Solihull: Exciting news for Kingshurst! The village regeneration project is really picking up steam. Senior councillors are all in for the next phase, which is awesome.
This project is a big deal for the community. It aims to create a vibrant village center with new homes and essential services. The first phase was a success, with new social homes built on the old pub site.
Recently, the first residents moved in, and it’s great to see the community growing. Now, they’re ready to dive into phase two, which promises even more improvements.
Plans include a new health hub with a GP, dentist, and pharmacy all in one place. Plus, there will be a community cafe and a convenience store. Sounds like a perfect spot for locals!
Ruth Tennant, the public health director, shared that this hub will help bring key health services together. It’s all about making things easier for everyone in Kingshurst.
They’ve done their homework too. There’s been a detailed health analysis showing Kingshurst has higher emergency admissions than other areas. So, this project aims to shift care closer to home.
Councillor Max McLoughlin emphasized the social value of this phase. It’s not just about buildings; it’s about improving lives. Councillor Ian Courts also highlighted that this project has been in the works for years.
Everyone is excited about this milestone. The council is now preparing a full business case for phase two, and it’s all happening at the Civic Suite. Kingshurst is on the rise!
