The Way in Worcester Street, Wolverhampton

Image: © Roger D Kidd Taken: 6 Feb 2015

This ambitious project for young people's activities has begun construction in Worcester Street, and is seen from the Penn Road Island. This will be called The Way, and is expected to cost £6 million. This side of the city has fallen into dereliction in recent years due to the recent recession and indecisive development plans. With the Tesco/Sainsbury fiasco now over, the new Sainsbury store open, plans for rebuilding the indoor market and the Mander Centre progressing, and hopefully the Summer Row development idiocy behind us, this new youth facility should herald the restart of our city's recovery. http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2014/10/23/work-to-begin-on-wolves-chairmans-youth-zone-project/ http://www.onsideyouthzones.org/youth-zones/wolverhampton-youth-zone/ The Wolverhampton Youth Zone will be located on Worcester Street in Wolverhampton, and is expected to open in early 2016. The Youth Zone will offer a multitude of activities for young people to partake in, such as sport, fitness, dance, arts, music, media, enterprise and wellbeing and self-improvement. The state-of-the-art facility will boast a high spec music room, a 3G pitch, enterprise media suite, climbing wall, multi-use four court sports hall, cafe, dance studio, gym, cooking area, general recreation area and much more. - See more at: http://www.onsideyouthzones.org/youth-zones/wolverhampton-youth-zone/#sthash.eYWYTxan.dpuf
