Quarry Bank Local Centre Regeneration Strategy

Quarry Bank Local Centre has been identified as one of the five priority local and district centres for regeneration by Dudley Council. In order to guide the regeneration of this shopping centre, the Council is working with planning consultants Colin Buchanan to develop a Regeneration Strategy for the area.

As part of CB’s commission to develop the Regeneration Strategy for Quarry Bank, we are delivering a public and stakeholder consultation programme.
