Representation ID: 44754

Respondent: Mrs Shila Patel

Representation Summary:

There are a high volume of empty units/ buildings within Wolverhampton that can be converted for housing purpose. The city centre itself has a surplus number of empty buildings. With retail now no longer a main focus in many cities and towns, why does the City Council look into making the city more appealing for individuals/ families to move and live around the city centre.

As I have already mentioned there are a high volume of empty/ derelict buildings in Wolverhampton that need a new lease of life. Before taking away local's fields etc I think empty units/ derelict building i.e the old Sainsburys building, which has been unused for many years, should be looked into being re-used/ re-furbished as housing purposes.
