West Midlands interchange helps local development

A 734-acre rail-freight and logistics hub under construction near Junction 12 of the M6 in South Staffordshire, has already generated more than £7 million in social value across South Staffordshire, Staffordshire and Wolverhampton.

The figure is revealed in West Midlands Interchange’s first Social Value Impact Report, covering 2022 to 2025. The development, which will provide up to eight million sq ft of logistics facilities connected to the strategic rail network, is already supporting regional businesses, employment and skills.
