B'ham Mail 8 Jul 10
A threatened major housing scheme to regenerate the site of MG Rover’s former plant has been given the go-ahead – after a government agency found £3.6 million to subsidise it. And another £6.5 million has been found to subsidise building 164 homes at Walsall town centre near the canal, at a development known as the Waterfront South development.
Paul Spooner, regional director for the Homes and Communities Agency West Midlands said: “The announcement is great news. Many of the priority schemes for our local authorities and their development partners are now going ahead.
