Simon Ramsden, divisional director at Hilson Moran, will lead the project team.

He said: “We are excited about this opportunity to help contribute to the regeneration of the city centre, which will improve transportation infrastructure for the people of Wolverhampton.â€

If Wolverhampton City Council approves planning the first phase will begin on site in November 2009.
