A better deal for Smethwick
Developments already under way - and in the pipeline - will improve housing, job opportunities and education for people and families in Smethwick.
Residents, community groups and businesses have joined forces to shape a plan for the Windmill Eye neighbourhood. It highlights housing improvements and areas for new homes.
Healthcare in Smethwick - and Sandwell as a whole - will get a boost from a new hospital in the Grove Lane area. The new hospital will also provide better long-term job prospects for local people and give an uplift to the local economy as building work goes ahead.
To give our children a better start in life schools are being rebuilt in Smethwick. The first phase of the Smethwick Learning Campus has been finished. It includes Ruskin House pupil referral unit for children excluded from schools and the new Holly Lodge High School. Shireland Primary School will be rebuilt by the end of 2012.
The government will also pay for the development of the Shirelands Collegiate Academy.
