Have your say on the future of Smethwick

14th June 2024

The Smethwick Partnership Board needs your help! Share your views on how to improve the town by taking part in a short survey.

We encourage Sandwell residents, community groups, and local businesses to help shape the future of Smethwick. The Smethwick Partnership Board, supported by Sandwell Council, is preparing a ten-year Long Term Plan for the town. The priorities of local people will drive the plan. 

Smethwick Partnership Board

The Smethwick Partnership Board was established to oversee the Smethwick Town Deal (Government Towns Fund programme) and the Smethwick Long Term Plan (Government Long Term Plan for Towns programme).

The board includes a wide range of representatives from community, business, voluntary, public sector and faith organisations, as well as local councillors and the police and crime commissioner.

Ideas for improving the town

By completing the survey, you will help identify how to spend up to £20m of government funding in Smethwick. Ideas for improving the town must fit within the following funding themes:

• Feeling safe in Smethwick
• Our streets, buildings and places
• Getting around Smethwick and travelling to other area.

You can complete the survey online here or grab a paper copy from Smethwick Library or Thimblemill Library. The survey closes on Sunday 23 June.
