Bilston colonnade and crèche

Bilston colonnade and crèche was a traditionally tendered project for Wolverhampton City Council to provide an enhanced market facility combined with a crèche in the busy town centre of Bilston.

The project was constructed whilst maintaining the normal Market days with the works having to be programmed around the busy trading days. The new crèche and market colonnade for Wolverhampton MBC provide a much needed regeneration and focal point to this run down area of the City, whilst the new facilities incorporating toilets and market offices have made the Market a much more popular venue. A modern café offers customers the opportunity for a relaxing break.
