2010 Priorities
Bloxwich, Leamore & Blakenall Business Partnership is engaged in a number of high profile projects this year:
- Red Route Package: Some road works on the red route have already started. The red route will run along Bloxwich town centre, and Leamore. The emphasis will be on the A34 with the aim to ease congestion along this route, create new parking, and new designated loading bays for the businesses. The main roadwork is due to commence in the summer 2010.
- Annual Events Programme: The partnership is creating an annual events calendar working with all the organisations who stage special events throughout the year. The events include Leamore & Blakenall Funday, Let's Celebrate Bloxwich, Bloxwich Carnival and Christmas Festivities, all aimed at increasing awareness, footfall and spend in the town centre.
- Bloxwich, Leamore & Blakenall Shopping Guide: the first Bloxwich Shopping Guide being produced in July will be distributed to 10 000 local homes and highlights the excellent range of shops and services available within Bloxwich.
