Walsall Council
Walsall Council has appointed BBLB to assist them in delivering a ‘World Class’ youth facility under the Government’s ‘myplace’ initiative, on a site at Joseph Lecke. It is currently subject to confirmation of BIG lottery funding.
The new building is a two-storey stand alone building located immediately adjacent to a new school. It will provide flexible spaces for training and a variety of activities as well as a health clinic. Local young people have been consulted on the scheme, indeed many of the facilities have been proposed by them.
The creative and flexible design aims to inspire young people to get involved with the centre, and be an integral part of the activities and create its own unique community identity.
The new scheme will deliver an attractive and safe place for young people to go in their leisure time where they can get involved in a wide range of exciting activities and enable more young people, particularly those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, to participate in positive activities that support their personal and social development.
