Wolverhampton council rethinks plan to introduce premium on wider graves

The fee, which critics had branded a ‘fat tax’, would have seen a cemetery charge an extra 20% for a 6ft-wide plot compared to the standard 5ft

One out of 25 funeral directors complains to the BBC and our council jumps. Dear me.

One of the nicer buildings in wolves, there is (was?) some lovely architecture if you looked up from street level

Thats a surprise, thought the Wednesfield branch would have gone first, another massive building to stand empty for years then

Just looked it’s moving into the mander centre instead

Love this comment on the story about the closure



We missed out on Pubil because he only likes playing for teams who have a bank near by in a grand old building. Bastard hates modern smaller banking hubs.

Let’s hope Asda never shuts, we’d have nowhere to show players round

chat with friends on match day has recently focused on the very limited options for decent hostelries.
there is clearly a lot of work happening in Wolverhampton at the mo. Do we think it'll have long term success?
I do like the majority of the proposals. I do wonder how existing businesses are coping tho, & the time taken for some of those projects feels long (but I'd rather they get it right).

I do accept the sting the large rise in parking charges causes for many. I'm comfortable parking a distance away from town & walking in, but many don't have that luxury, so public transport is an essential consideration.
