Locks Heath ward councilors have received many complaints about the fenced-off area of Lockswood Shopping Centre Car Park that is creating an eyesore.

Locks Heath eyesore. What could this be?

Permission was granted for a McDonald’s take-away, and work started. But then McDonald’s decided against development.
So a planning application was made for a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet - which was refused.
Next, an application to return the site to a car park was granted.
However, Councillor Ruth Godrich has said: “Despite requests, the owners are reluctant to carry out work in the present economic climate.”
It seems this will eventually become a car park when the economy picks up, but can anyone think of anything that might be more useful in its place?
