Future Development
As part of Dudley's Unitary Development Plan Process, Merry Hill along with the Waterfront and Brierley Hill will be integrated to form the enlarged town centre of Brierley Hill. Westfield, the owners of Merry Hill, is working closely with Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council to assist with this project.
The integration programme is part of a major urban regeneration project and will see the creation of a new mixed usage town centre through the physical and social integration of the areas.
There is talk of John Lewis or House of Fraser being built at a later stage, as well as the possibility of an Apple Store.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or development:
“The person who does not worry about the future will shortly have worries about the present.”
—Chinese proverb.
Confucian Analects.
“If you complain of people being shot down in the streets, of the absence of communication or social responsibility, of the rise of everyday violence which people have become accustomed to, and the dehumanization of feelings, then the ultimate development on an organized social level is the concentration camp.... The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
