Battery Way Extension (Tyseley, Birmingham)
Overall value: £1.52m
Local Growth Fund: £1.26m
Lead partner: Birmingham City Council
Outputs: 800 jobs
Around 4.5 miles south-east of Birmingham city centre off the A41 Warwick Road, Battery Way is currently a cul-de-sac constructed about ten years ago to give improved access to the former Lucas Industries (later Yuasa Batteries) factory.
This project will see the creation of a new 700m long, 7.3m wide single carridgeway road between the existing Battery Way and Reddings Lane with the ultimate effect of unlock a redundant industrial estate.
The project will also act as an important catalyst for the regeneration of the wider Tyseley and Greet areas, which are key employment areas for the south-east of the city with more than 15,000 people employed on sites based around the A41 Warwick Road.
Funding will be available in 2015/16 and 16/17 for this project.
