The West Bromwich Urban Greening project is part of the West Bromwich Towns Fund Programme and will deliver initiatives to improve green spaces and create a more attractive West Bromwich town centre. This will include the introduction of new trees, parklets and play space, complementing planned infrastructure works to establish better links from the Town Centre to Sandwell Valley.
A Cultural Programme delivered by Multistory will also be delivered alongside the capital development works, including community involvement and artistic interpretation to help improve the physical and mental wellbeing of people.
The project’s Full Business Case was approved by the Government in March 2022. Phase 1 works began in August 2022 and were completed in December 2022, followed by Phase 2, which commenced in March 2023 and finished in August 2023. The project is continuing to deliver its Cultural Programme, with a number of activities already completed. You can find out more here.
West Bromwich High Street Digital Map
Multistory is excited to present a new digital commission by artist and poet Lee Mackenzie. West Bromwich High Street is an illustrated poetry map and musical score that links the High Street to nearby green spaces, created as part of Multistory’s urban greening cultural programme, Green Roots. The map features drawings of many of the town’s well-known buildings alongside musical notations capturing the sounds of the High Street.
