Sandwell Valley 10 Year Master Plan
Overview
The Sandwell Valley Master Plan offers a proposal of improvements to the following:
- Connectivity and parking across all sites
- Improvements to Sandwell Valley Visitor Centre, including repairs, a retractable roof for wedding, events, and activities, and an expanded cafe and shop offer
- A new Heritage Discovery Zone offering educational play and activity linked to the history and conservation elements of Sandwell Valley for all ages of children and additional needs
- A new Watersports Centre and Cafe at Swan Pool to replace the current building, with expanded parking.
- A new food education and cooking barn to promote healthy eating and cooking in Sandwell for schools, families, and parents.
The Master Plan also benchmarks Sandwell Valley against other similar country parks. The aim of this Master Plan is to secure the future of Sandwell Valley Country Park, whilst maintaining the conservation and protection of the green belt land across the estate. The Master Plan will also enable Sandwell Valley to become a sub-regional destination; both offering an affordable or free day out for families and residents who live in Sandwell, but also attract visitors within a 45 minute radius.
Why your views matter
Consultation has already taken place with stakeholders and residents through the production of the master plan by way of surveys and meetings. This further consultation enables residents and stakeholders to give their views on the final draft Master Plan.
What happens next
Views and input from residents and stakeholders will be considered following the consultation. A final master plan and 10 year business plan will then be presented for Cabinet Decision in March 2024.
