Birmingham’s Smithfield Project: Public Input Sought on New Development

Birmingham residents are being encouraged to provide their feedback on the latest plans for the Smithfield Birmingham project. This ambitious development aims to transform the former wholesale markets into a vibrant destination with residential buildings, cultural spaces, and a new public square. The first plot of land to be developed will include a health and wellbeing-focused leisure facility and shops, along with approximately 400 new homes. Public events, both online and in person, will be held in September, giving residents a chance to view the plans and express their opinions. The project, described as a ‘once in a generation’ opportunity, was approved by Birmingham City Council earlier this year.
