Conservatives have asked the council to consider reopening Bratt Street and the middle section of West Bromwich High Street.
This is a bid to help to help the ailing towns economy. The news comes days after it was revealed the town's Queens Square development has gone into receivership and work to create the new Tesco is likely to have a negative impact.
Councillor Ray Nock, leader of the opposition Conservative group at Sandwell
Council said:
"I am calling for Bratt Street and High Street to be opened up to traffic to try to stimulate the business in West Bromwich town centre, where more and more shops are closing.
"Its about time Sandwell Council talked to the shop owners, market traders and
businesses to see what they need to prosper.
"It saddens me to think what a vibrant busy town West Bromwich was, it wasn't called the golden mile for fun. Just what have we got to show from 10 years of promises and plans?
Nothing but more Uncertainty."
