This project is a package of five measures relating to land acquisitions, highway works at Birchfield Roundabout, public realm enhancements, gap funding for new development and bus interchange improvements at One Stop Shopping Centre.

Birmingham City University is a significant presence within the area, and will be vacating themajority of the Perry Barr teaching campus in September 2015. The redevelopment of the site will act as a catalyst for wider development, and it needs to be ensured that such development is accompanied by improvements to connectivity and public realm.

Funding for this project is available in 2015/16 and 2016/17.
