Sandwell's green spaces to get a slice of £9 million levelling up cash

Sandwell is one of seven areas in the West Midlands that will receive funding through the Levelling Up Parks Fund.

The Fund will help residents to better enjoy green spaces in their communities, which provide a natural sanctuary from the bustling streets of towns and cities.

West Bromwich East MP Nicola Richards said: "Parks and green spaces in West Bromwich East provide a peaceful space for people to relax, exercise, and socialise, but some of these spaces are in need of a revamp.

"Therefore, I am delighted that Sandwell Council has been awarded a share of the £9 million Levelling Up Parks Fund to improve our local green spaces."

“Thanks to this investment from the Conservative Government, people of all ages will be able to better enjoy the parks and public spaces in our area, while restoring pride in our community.”
