flag A new tram extension in Dudley highlights stark economic divides, with poor areas facing higher unemployment and poverty than wealthier neighborhoods.

flag The Midlands Metro’s extension into Dudley reveals deep economic disparities, with deprived wards like Castle and Priory, St James’s, and St Thomas’s facing higher unemployment, poverty, and reliance on social housing than the borough or national averages. flag In contrast, wealthier areas like Halesowen South show significantly lower hardship. flag The 2024 Dudley Borough Economic Regeneration Strategy aims to address decades of decline, including the loss of 20,000 manufacturing jobs, by improving connectivity and attracting investment. flag The first phase of the tram line is set to open soon, with further expansion to Brierley Hill planned for 2026 if funding is secured.
