Legal action over derelict garages in Ashmore Park

Following our news stories in February and March which highlighted problems with a set of derelict garages in Ashmore Park, we can now reveal that Wolverhampton Homes (the organisation, which manages Wolverhampton City Council’s homes, shops and garages) is taking legal action against a former tenant who is refusing to vacate the garages on Griffiths Drive.

Once the tenant has been evicted the garages will be demolished and it is hoped that the site can be used to create additional free parking for local residents and shoppers.
