A former British Legion club in Smethwick could be converted into a nursery under new plans.

Family Adventures Group has asked Sandwell Council for permission to convert the empty former British Legion club in Londonderry Lane, Smethwick , into a nursery for up to 80 children.

The club closed in 2014 and it was then converted into another club called The Local in 2021 but closed in January 2024.

The site has also been used by care provider Delivering Care Direct as well as for overflow parking by the neighbouring Ash Lodge care home.

The former club’s bar and function room would be converted into separate baby and toddler and pre-school spaces and part of the old car park would be transformed into a new garden, according to the plans. A total of 19 parking spaces would be included.
