Former Walsall college campus to be sold off

A former Walsall College campus will go up for sale later this year, bosses confirmed today.

Question marks had been hanging over the future of the former Shelley Campus in Alumwell, which closed in 2009 when students moved to the college's new £64 million Wisemore Campus.

Walsall Housing Group had expressed an interest in using the land as the site of a "health village" and had been given six months to look at its options.

But the Express & Star revealed last week that the housing group is no longer pursuing that option.

Deb Rajania, director of operations and resources at Walsall College, said the Scarborough Road campus will now go on the market in the near future.

The Shelley Campus used to house performing arts and music students.
