Bilston residents, business owners and visitors are being invited to help shape the future of their community as part of the Plan for Neighbourhoods programme.
The Plan for Neighbourhoods Board in Bilston has launched a major consultation to gather views on what matters most to people who live, work and spend time in Bilston.
The feedback will inform a community led Regeneration and Investment Plan, which will set out priorities for the next 10 years.
The consultation is part of a government initiative supporting 75 areas across the UK to co-design long term regeneration strategies with local communities.
Councillor Stephen Simkins, Leader of City of Wolverhampton Council and member of the Bilston Plan for Neighbourhoods Board, said: “Bilston is a proud and resilient community with a rich history and a bright future. This is a unique opportunity for local people to help shape the next chapter of Bilston’s story.
“We want to hear from everyone, whether you live there, run a business, or simply visit the town. Your views will help us create a plan that reflects the real needs and aspirations of our community.
“Together, we can build a thriving, inclusive and empowered Bilston for generations to come.”
The online survey is open now and will run until 30 September, 2025. If you complete the survey, you have the chance to win up to £100 in Morrison’s vouchers. To take part, visit Bilston Plan for Neighbourhoods.
In person engagement sessions will also take place across Bilston throughout September, including pop up events and paper surveys.
The first pop up events will take place at Biston High Street/Market on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 September and Friday 12 and Saturday 13 September (all 8am to 3pm) and at Bilston-Bert Williams Leisure Centre on Tuesday, 2 September and Wednesday 10 September (both 4pm to 7.30pm
