Site investigations are currently underway for the construction of the new Bilston Health & Wellbeing Facility in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England, which is expected to commence next year.
This facility aims to serve the community by integrating health and social care, well-being, and leisure services.
It has already received outline planning approval and will be situated adjacent to the WV Active Bilston-Bert Williams Leisure Centre and the Bilston Urban Village Medical Centre.
This development is part of the local council’s broader Bilston Health & Regeneration Programme, which has been bolstered by a £20m ($25.46m) government grant.
Initial works include the expansion of the Bilston-Bert Williams Leisure Centre car park, increasing its capacity from 90 to 125 spaces to accommodate visitors to both the leisure centre and the upcoming health and well-being facility.
An automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system will also be installed to provide alerts on antisocial behaviour, enhancing the security and functionality of the site.

By GlobalDataThe detailed designs for the health and well-being facility, along with improvements to the public space, are set to be finalised in early 2025. Following this, a contractor will be appointed to undertake the development works.
The facility is strategically located a short distance from key points such as the Bilston Central public transport interchange, Bilston markets, and the Bilston Urban Village nature reserve, ensuring easy access for the community.
City of Wolverhampton Council councillor and cabinet member for City Development, Jobs and Skills Chris Burden said: “This new facility for Bilston will provide invaluable health and well-being services for the local community.
“Following positive feedback from residents and healthcare users, and securing outline planning approval, the site investigations will enable us to fully progress this scheme next year.
“The facility will be located where it can benefit the community the most, right in the centre of the town, making it highly accessible for users, and bringing footfall that will benefit local businesses.”
