Wolverhampton Council will purchase the former Bagot Arms pub using compulsory purchase powers to develop affordable housing. The pub has been empty since 2008 after a fatal shooting and has become a site for anti-social behavior, despite previous planning permission for redevelopment. The council aims to demolish the building and replace it with 15 flats, improving the area's appearance and providing much-needed social housing.
