Latest example of how council is regenerating disused sites across city
The first new affordable homes being built on the site of a former eyesore Bilston pub and neighbouring derelict garages have been completed.
The Happy Wanderer pub on Green Lanes was subject to arson attacks and anti-social behaviour since closing in 2017 due to poor trade.
It was demolished by the previous owner in September 2021, with the site aligned to City of Wolverhampton Council’s Vacant Properties Taskforce work to bring derelict sites back into use.
Black Country Housing Group (BCHG) seized the opportunity to purchase the land for affordable housing to rent, with Keon Homes constructing 13 two and three-bedroom houses, and 6 one-bedroom flats.
The first nine houses have been handed over to BCHG ready for the first tenants to move in.
