The latest chapter in the £1 billion rejuvenation of Longbridge has been unveiled – revealing an upgraded train station, a bigger park and ride scheme and new cycle link.

Major transport and digital investments, new residential and office schemes, and improvement work to Longbridge Lane, Tessall Lane and Longbridge Island are on the horizon in the next phase of the development of the 468-acre former MG Rover site.

Longbridge train station will receive a major upgrade and there will be improvements to bus shelters, and passenger information in the area.

The rebirth of Longbridge aims to create 10,000 jobs across high technology, retail and leisure ventures.

Earlier this year, Mike Murray, senior development surveyor at St Modwen, said the scheme could take up to another 20 years to complete.

The next stage of works at Longbridge was unveiled by joint development partners St Modwen, Birmingham City Council and Centro.

Councillor John McNicholas, chairman of Centro, said: “This is the latest exciting chapter in the story of Longbridge and I am delighted that enhancement of the railway station and its facilities, expanded park and ride and the development of sustainable travel forms a key part of it.”

More than 3,000 jobs have been created so far at Longbridge, which to date has attracted companies including Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Philip Cornes, iON Cameras, Atos and Bytesnap.

Other development milestones include the £66 million Bournville College, £23 million Cofton Centre industrial park, £70 million town centre and construction of 361 homes by St Modwen Homes through a joint venture with Persimmon.

A public consultation event providing feedback on the next phase of works is to be held on November 25 at Seven House, High Street, Longbridge.
