Odeon Luxe announced for Wolverhampton's £50m Westside development
Odeon will be bringing a new Luxe cinema to the Westside development in Wolverhampton.
The cinema is set to be joined by shops, restaurants and leisure attractions at the £50 million site, and is set to open in summer 2022, council leader Ian Brookfield said at last night's council meeting.
Councillor Brookfield read a statement from developer Urban and Civic, which said: "I'm pleased to confirm conditional agreements are in place with the Odeon.
"The current programme is for the opening to be in summer 2022."
The city council has faced questions over the delays on Westside, and Councillor Brookfield has previously said it was important time was taken to ensure the development was right.
Mini golf, 10-pin bowling, a multi-storey car park, restaurants and shops will all feature as part of the Westside development to transform part of the city centre.
The cinema is seen as the focal point for the development, which spreads from the Penn Road Island to Salop Street, and includes a pedestrianised link route leading to a new public plaza in Victoria Street.
