Looking across part of the Blakenhall Gardens regeneration area. The small shopping precinct straight ahead carries a Blakenhall Gardens address, off Dudley Road (the old houses/shops on the skyline). The Asian supermarkets here are recommendable, but don't expect a Waitrose style spick and span and spacious experience; the trading style is quite different. The last of six tower blocks at Phoenix Rise nearby is being gradually demolished, and the whole area is to be rebuilt with two and three storey family housing. According to the plans, appropriately sized trees will be planted in the new roadways, and existing mature trees will be retained wherever possible.
